NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Domaine Courtois La Grange Vinsobres reveals a deep purple hue, bordering on near-black at its core.The pronounced bouquet captivates with aromas of candied red cherries, ripe blackberries, and blueberries. Subtle hints of chocolate pot de crème, fresh rosemary, lily flower, caramel, and black plum sauce add layers of complexity. On the palate, it achieves a beautiful equilibrium, boasting fine, medium tannins accompanied by juicy acidity. Abundant just-picked brambleberry fruits intermingle with notes of mocha, cedar, and licorice. The wine concludes with an elegant, lengthy finish, leaving a lasting impression of multilayered fruit and floral nuances. A surprisingly complex and refined gem.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Courtois
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
