Coralie Goumarre- A Woman on a Mission
Proprietor Coralie Goumarre took over Domaine Galevan from her parents in 1995. She is the ninth generation of vignerons at Galevan, but the first woman to head the domaine. She has taken Galevan to the top ranks of southern Rhone producers. Most of her production is Cotes du Rhone (she also has 5 acres of vines in Chateauneuf du Pape) and she makes the most of it. She has turned out several beautiful wines, yet another woman among many in the Rhone who are pushing the envelope of quality, all for our benefit. L'Esprit du Vin is her finest Cotes du Rhone bottling, and its soft rich flavors will make you smile all day!

Robert Parker 90 Points
The sensational, deep ruby/purple-hued 2007 Cotes du Rhone l'Esprit de Vin (60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 20% Mourvedre) offers up scents of blueberries, blackberries, licorice, and smoked herbs. This medium to full-bodied wine reveals terrific texture, length, and purity. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.
