NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine des Bosquets Gigondas La Colline is an exceptional wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Gigondas appellation in the Rhône Valley, France.On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, accompanied by subtle notes of lavender, thyme, and black pepper. These aromas are a true reflection of the region's characteristic garrigue, which adds a touch of herbal complexity to the wine.
On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a well-structured framework of fine-grained tannins. The ripe fruit flavors persist, with additional layers of blackcurrant, licorice, and a touch of cocoa. The wine's impressive concentration is balanced by a refreshing acidity, providing a harmonious and long-lasting finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine des Bosquets
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
