According to winemaker Jacques Grange, "the 2007 southern Rhone wines are massive, powerful wines like nothing we've ever seen. They can sometimes be almost too much, though. They're easy to understand for sure, so it's kind of a beginner's vintage, I think." He added that he prefers wines that are vivacious and elegant, and that this style was almost impossible to make from the south in 2007." The northern Rhone in 2007 was a different story. "The year was extremely easy, with no surprises during the season or at harvest," he told me. "The wines are nicely expressive already but are also balanced to age. People who don't go for big, rich wines ought to be really pleased with them." (Maisons Marques & Domaines, Oakland, CA) Also recommended: 2008 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc Les Launes (86), 2007 Cotes du Rhone Saint Esprit (85), 2007 Gigondas Les Reignages (85), 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Haute Pierre (85).
