NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Coursodon Saint-Joseph L'Olivaie is a remarkable wine that showcases the best of the Saint-Joseph appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley of France.On the nose, Coursodon Saint-Joseph L'Olivaie offers a complex bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberry and black cherry, accompanied by hints of violet and black pepper. The aromas are beautifully integrated, creating an enticing and inviting experience.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors are rich and concentrated, with notes of ripe black fruits, licorice, and a touch of smokiness. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine.
Coursodon Saint-Joseph L'Olivaie is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. With proper cellaring, it will continue to develop and evolve, revealing even more complexity and depth over time.
It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, game dishes, and hearty stews. Cheers!

ORIGINS
Winery: Coursodon
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
