The last released Beau Mistral 2007, the Cotes du Rhone-Villages St.-Martin, is a brilliant effort composed of 45% old vine Grenache and the rest old vine Syrah and a dollop of Mourvedre. Proprietor Jean-Marc Brun (who made the finest wines of his career in 2007) has fashioned a peppery, earthy, dense purple-colored, full-bodied, heady wine that captures the beautiful fragrance of the top reds from the southern Rhone and Provence. Revealing plenty of garrigue and black cherry notes along with hints of earth and truffles, this superbly concentrated, full-bodied 2007 possesses amazing staying power as well as length, and there is not a hard edge to be found. It should drink well for 5-6 years. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Coatesville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
