WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine du Bois de Saint Jean L'Intrépide Côtes du Rhône is a bold and expressive wine crafted by the passionate team at Domaine du Bois de Saint Jean. Set in the sun-drenched plateau of the Rhône Valley, the vineyard is home to 40-year-old vines rooted in unique soils of rounded stones and sandy clay, giving the wine remarkable character and depth. This meticulously balanced blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre, and 5% Carignan is carefully vinified in separate, temperature-controlled tanks to bring out the best of each varietal.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine du Bois de Saint Jean
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
