Château de Montfaucon Côtes du Rhône is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Château de Montfaucon winery in the Côtes du Rhône appellation of France. The vineyards are located on the hillsides of the Rhône Valley, where the vines benefit from the warm Mediterranean climate and the stony soils. The winemaking process is traditional, with a focus on preserving the natural flavors and aromas of the grapes. The resulting wine is a rich and complex blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and herbs. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, stews, and hearty dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château de Montfaucon Côtes du Rhône is a beautiful ruby red in colour.On the nose, it reveals aromas of red fruits and spices, with hints of pepper and leather. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with juicy red berry flavours and a velvety texture. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of raspberry and licorice. An excellent Rhône blend, perfect for accompanying charcuterie.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château de Montfaucon
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
