Tasting Notes
Great representation of the terroir and the disciplines of wine making in the region. Rich and intense generous on the palate, well balanced and rounded with good concentration and notes of red fruits and spring flowers.
An absolute bargain and is great value for money This cote du Rhone punches well above its weight. It is one of the wines the French people drink as a stock wine. All give and no take. Highly recommended.
Food and Pairing:
Brilliant with red meats, roasts pizza and a great quaffing wine.
The wine:
Côtes du Rhône is a region wide appellation within the Rhône Valley in eastern France. It applies to red, rosé and white wines, and includes more than 170 villages. The zone follows the course of the Rhône river southwards for 125 miles (200km) from Saint-Cyr-sur-le-Rhône to Avignon. A small proportion of the appellation's wines are white. However the classic Côtes du Rhône wine is a fruity, middleweight red blend based on Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
The Côtes du Rhône appellation was introduced in November 1937. Its purpose was to provide a catch-all title for good quality Rhône wines from the valley's lesser known and less prestigious viticultural areas..
