WINE DESCRIPTION
Cellier des Princes Les Hauts Des Coteaux is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape sourced from old vines that produce very low yields, creating small concentrated berries. Organically farmed grapes are hand-picked and destemmed prior to a lengthy fermentation in temperature controlled vats. After the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wines are matured in oak barrels for 12 months, with a further period in the bottle prior to release.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Cellier des Princes Les Hauts Des Coteaux Châteauneuf-du-Pape has a pale to medium ruby color with heavy tearing suggesting a wine of considerable weight.On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe red and dark fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of spices, such as black pepper. These aromas are further enhanced by subtle notes of garrigue, which add a touch of herbal freshness. The full-bodied and rounded texture, with well-integrated tannins complement the intense ripe fruit character and layers of leather and black olive tapenade.

ORIGINS
Winery: Cellier des Princes
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
