The 2007 Cotes du Rhone was made under conditions of “ideal serenity for the harvesters and the vigneron,” reflects Jean-Paul Autard. While the September weather was perfect, the character of the growing season and the decisions Autard made are equally important factors in explaining the excellence of the 2007 Cotes du Rhone. It is a deeply colored and very aromatic wine with plush, ripe black fruits and notes of spice – Autard’s fifth brilliant vintage in a row!
