Varietal: Grenache Blend

Vintage:2020 Colour: Red Style: Dry

Producer: M.Chapoutier

Description:
From the heart of the Southern Rhone this fine example typifies the warm spicy characteristics of the region. A big chewy wine combining power and elegance.

Ageing Potential: 5 to 9 Years

Tasting Note:
Deep ruby red wine, full from rim to core. Pronounced, developed nose of warm spicy fruits - blackberries and damsons - with a whiff of white pepper and cedarwood. Dry with firm tannin structure, lots of heat evident but huge weight of autumn berries fruits coming through. Quite a serious wine but with layers of complexity. High in extract and alcohol - great food companion and quite different.
