86 Points.
In 2006 Lesec has added a Cuvee Richette Cotes du Rhone which is a rather solid, dark ruby wine, somewhat monolithic compared to the other cuvees, but well-made. I can’t speak highly enough of the job that Patrick Lesec does as a negociant, putting together interesting and high quality blends of Cotes du Rhones and Chateauneuf du Papes.
