4389 Domaine Vincent Rochette, AOC Visan 2006 7 7 The producer is a live Jack-in-a-box, but his wines are much<br />
more approachable and will last for several more years.<br />
4390 Domaine des Côteaux des Travers, 2006 9 9 <strong>Wine</strong>maker Robert Charavin was known for the outstanding<br />

the same reputation for balanced fruit, tannin and harmony.<br />
4391 Domaine Berthet-Rayne, « Tradition », 2006 8 8 Lovely nose, rather like a whiff of the pepper mill mingling<br />

4392 Château de Montmirail, Le Graminier, 2006 8 8 Produced by an extended family team, this is the finest estate<br />
