Chateau de Vaudieu is an 18th century estate that has been in the Brechet family for over 50 years.  Now run by grandson, Laurent, the wines go from strength to strength and, because they are a little under the radar, their wines offer great value (their vineyards sit next to Chateau Rayas).  The Closerie de Vaudieu is their second wine, made from younger vines, and is a cracker - full of blackberry, plum and cherry along with spice, pepper, herbs, leather and liquorice.  The tannins are really fine and the wine has fresh acidity and great length of flavour.  It certainly has power but with a freshness and balance that some CNPs don't quite achieve.  A great price for this quality.
