Also tasted, but no tasting note given. Ebullient Burgundian wine broker, Alain Corcia, who does some of his best work in the Rhone Valley, offers a solid selection of Cotes du Rhones and Chateauneuf du Papes that are both good values and very fine wines. Corcia’s Chateauneuf du Pape cuvees are strong in both 2006 and 2007. These are selections he makes from several well-known estates on the plateau of Chateauneuf du Pape that undergo slightly different blendings and upbringings. All named after family members, they are more similar than dissimilar. An Alain Corcia Selection, various American importers, including Premier Wines, CA; tel.

Much better than the Cotes du Ventoux for a slightly higher price is the 2005 Cotes du Rhone, which shows peppery, black cherry notes, medium body, good acidity, and spice. Moving up in price and quality, there are two cuvees of Gigondas. These are the personal selections of Burgundy wine broker Alain Corcia. All of the wines are blends from top estates put together by Corcia, an accomplished taster as well as blender, and then aged either in foudres or in smaller barriques and bottled with very little clarification. Since he has a distribution system that directly imports from him without any middle men, prices are modest.An Alain Corcia Selection, various American importers, including Premier Wines, CA; tel.

The 2003 Cotes du Rhone, which comes from Vinsobres, is a fruity, well-made, attractive, medium-bodied effort with a soft finish. It requires consumption during its first 1-2 years of life.
