For starters, there are terrific values at the lower end of the spectrum, including his non-vintage Petite Crau. All of this comes from 2006. It is a blend of Grenache and Carignan and is what the French call a vin de table, but it is also a wine of pleasure. Dense ruby/purple, chuncky, fleshy, it has surprising personality and soul for a wine in this price range. Drink it over the next several years. 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.
