WINE DESCRIPTION

André Brunel Est-Ouest Côtes du Rhône is a blend of predominantly Grenache with a small proportion of Cinsault and Syrah. The grapes are sourced from two plots located to the east and west of the Rhône (Est-Ouest). On arrival at the winery, the grapes were de-stemmed and crushed. The alcoholic fermentation took place in temperature controlled tanks. Finally, the wines was aged in inert vessels to preserve the freshness and purity of fruit before being bottled for release.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

André Brunel Est-Ouest Côtes du Rhône presents a pale to medium ruby color, indicating its youthfulness and vibrancy.On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as plums and strawberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spices and herbs. The palate reveals a full body, with soft, supple tannins and round texture that coats the palate. The flavors of red fruits persist, complemented by notes of black pepper and a touch of earthiness. The wine's well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance, while the acidity adds freshness and liveliness to the overall profile.

ORIGINS

Winery: André Brunel

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
