WINE DESCRIPTION
Bertrand Stehelin Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages 'Sablet' Rouge is full-bodied, dry red wine produced in the Rhône Valley, France. The wine is a majority blend of Grenache that brings notes of strawberries and white pepper, complemented by dark-fruited Mourvèdre and Syrah. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with a mix of clay and limestone soils. The wine spends around a year in concrete vats prior to bottling to harmonise the flavors and round out the texture.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Bertrand Stehelin Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages 'Sablet' Rouge displays a pale ruby color in the glass.The nose shows a good level of complexity, with aromas of dark plums and strawberries, along with hints of pepper and dried herbs. On the palate, it has a round, smooth texture, with supple tannins, and soft acidity that provides sufficient freshness to balance the ripe fruit. The finish is moderate in length, focussed on savory and spicy notes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Bertrand Stehelin
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.CUSTOMER RATING
