From the appellation of Coteaux d'Aix en Provence comes the Les Beatines. The 2000, primarily a blend of Grenache and Syrah with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, is a dark ruby/purple-colored, fragrant example with aromas of sweet black cherries and white flowers. It has a Pinot Noir-like character. It comes from a vineyard planted in pure limestone, and the wine's finesse is apparent. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
