The 2020 Côtes du Rhône Villages Terre d'Argile, which comes from vines just north of Châteauneuf du Pape, is always a stunning Côtes du Rhône. In fact, there’s not many better out there. The 2020 shows the pure, lively style of the vintage as well as classic cassis and raspberry fruits supported by toasted spice and floral notes. It’s medium to full-bodied, balanced, and clearly an outstanding, impeccably made wine.

The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages Terre d'Argile is an equal-parts blend of Carignan. Grenache. Mourvèdre and Syrah. It's a full-bodied. silky-textured wine with bright acids that can rival many Châteauneuf-du-Papes. Dusty. earthy notes and dried spices accent cherry-berry fruit and then pick up classy hints of licorice on the lingering finish.
Verkostungsbericht vom 29. August 2018:
Some poached strawberries. raspberries. dark fruit. garrigue herbs and iodine-like savoriness. The super-pure acidity and tannins are intertwined around ripe. fleshy blackberries. Coal smoke through the minerally finish. Drink or hold.
