Rhone Report 92
"The first vintage from proprietor Nicolas Souchon and a brilliant effort, the 2010 Mas des Volques Volcae X, a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan fermented with 100% stem inclusion, offers up classic southern France styled qualities of pepper, garrigue, olive tapenade, and herb-laced red and black fruits. Full-bodied and beautifully polished on the palate, with excellent concentration and an overall classy, pure feel, this knockout 2010 will shine for 4-5 years, if not longer.
Coming from the new Duché d'Uzès appellation, which was just awarded AOC status this summer and is located 40 kilometers west of Avignon and north of Costières-de-Nîmes, these knockout wines are made by Nicolas Souchon, who is the assistant winemaker at Clos Saint Jean."~JD
