Côtes du Rhône Village Marco

Producer Patrick Lesec Selections (Southern Rhône) Region Southern Rhône, France Encepagement 70% Grenache, vines 30-40 years old 30% Syrah, vines 12 years old, from the slopes of the village of Vinsobres Elevage Whole cluster fermentation. 3 week maceration. 100% aged in tank. Not fined or filtered. Reviews for 2003 Vintage From the Wine Advocate, #156 (Dec 2004): "Points: 84-86. Both the 2003 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Marco (from Vinsobres) and 2003 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cairanne Vieilles Vignes are slightly compressed, earthy, and rustic, without the charm of their siblings. Their tannin is also drier and more austere. They may flesh out and soften before they are bottled." © The Wine Advocate
