Verkostungsbericht vom 31. August 2018:
Für den Jahrgang 2019 liegt noch keine Bewertung vor.
Bottled just a week before my visit. the 2017 Cotes du Rhone contains just 40% Grenache. There's 20% each Mourvèdre and Syrah. with the balance a mix of Carignan and Cinsault. Raised exclusively in concrete vats and foudres. it's a juicy. mouthwatering mixed bowl of blueberries and cherries that should please most palates. Medium to full-bodied. it features a plump. appealing texture and silky tannins. Despite pumping up the blend with other varieties. the shortage of Grenache this year means that production was down by 20%. It should still be a relative bargain.
