La Ferme du Mont Côtes Capelan 2010 is an intense Châteauneuf-du-Pape crafted by winemaker Stéphane Vedeau from exceptionally old Grenache vines. The 2010 vintage is widely considered a modern masterpiece in the Southern Rhône, lending this cuvée a piercing acidity and vibrant mineral tension. The palate is a blockbuster of black raspberries, liquorice and cracked pepper, delivered with a massive, mouth-coating concentration. Despite its power, the wine maintains a remarkable freshness, ensuring a long and graceful life in the cellar.

The prodigious 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cotes Capelan boasts abundant notes of acacia flowers interwoven with blackberries, black raspberries, licorice, incense and a touch of graphite. The wine hits the palate with tremendous authority, impressive purity, a skyscraper-like texture and a full-bodied, layered finish that lasts for nearly 50 seconds. This remarkable Chateauneuf du Pape has a natural yet seductive feel. Drink it over the next two decades.
One of the more exciting, relatively new estates in the southern Rhone is La Ferme du Mont, which is run with considerable enthusiasm as well as meticulous attention to detail by Stephane Vedeau. I bought his 2007s and am thrilled I did so as they combine the best of the southern Rhone with a Burgundian grand cru-like gracefulness and elegance. His 2011 and 2010 offerings are both outstanding, with the latter vintage possibly better than his 2007s. Readers should also check out this estate’s impressive Cotes du Rhones. Stephane Vedeau not only fashions exquisite Chateauneuf du Pape, but also terrific Cotes du Rhones.
