WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Boisson Côtes du Rhône is a captivating blend from the renowned Côtes du Rhône appellation, crafted with precision by Domaine Boisson. This wine features a harmonious mix of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Carignan, 5% Cinsault, and 5% Mourvèdre. The vineyards, with 25-year-old vines, thrive on silico-argilo-calcareous soils in the Muzet, Sous Ville, Les Volles, and Grands Termes regions of Cairanne and Lagarde Paréol. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and sorted, ensuring only the best fruit is used. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, with 90% of the grapes destemmed, followed by a 15-day maceration in concrete vats. The wine is then aged entirely in concrete vats, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine with rich fruit flavors, a smooth texture, and a vibrant finish. Domaine Boisson Côtes du Rhône exemplifies the quality and tradition of its esteemed appellation.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Boisson
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
