The good rain we had last week was great for the vineyard, especially given that it is followed by an indian-summer kind of weather this week (today like yesterday is 30°C+ with great sun) and the weather forecast says it will remain like that for the week and maybe next week also. As a consequence, we really take our time in all our vineyards. In Beaucastel, we are now harvesting quietly our oldest parcels of Grenache and the grapes look and taste great, with a very good balance. We will continue harvesting the Grenache slowly all this week and also the first days of next week. Then will come the Mourvèdre and Counoise. At Domaine des Tourelles in Gigondas, we have not started yet. We should start the syrah this friday. In Vinsobres, same thing, we should start the syrah at the end of the week. In Cairanne, the syrah were harvested before the rain and we are doing the Grenache this week. Most of our other vineyards including most of the 'regular' CDR are harvested and the first wines finish their fermentation. At this stage we are very happy of the quality of the vintage.

"Still dark and tight, but with a great core of racy fig, graphite and blackberry confiture notes pushed by a long, mineral- and charcoal-tinged finish. Just needs brief cellaring to stretch out fully." Drink now through 2010.—J.M. 91 points, Wine Spectator insider, May 13- 2009
"Still tight, but with lots of fig, hoisin sauce, raspberry ganache, incense and mesquite notes waiting to emerge fully. This has silky tannins and a long, perfumed finish. There’s also great underlying acidity. " Best from 2010 through 2013.—J.M. 92 points, Wine Spectator insider, May 13- 2009
