This wine is a classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, offering a snapshot of the region's garrigue-scented terroir.

Wine Expert Note:

The Domaine Le Couroulu Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes reveals a dense ruby color, giving way to a nose rich with dark berries, plum, and hints of licorice and thyme. Earthy undertones and a signature Rhône spiciness add depth. On the palate, the old vine Grenache provides concentration and velvety texture, while Syrah and Mourvèdre contribute structure and dark fruit nuances. This full-bodied wine balances intensity with elegance, the fine tannins and herbal garrigue notes leading to a persistent, savory finish. It's a wine that reflects the sun-bathed richness of Southern France with the potential to evolve in the cellar.

Domaine de Servans Côtes du Rhône is a Grenache Noir and Syrah blend from grapes that are organically grown. The vines that supply the grapes for this wine have an average of 40 years of age. The grapes are harvested by hand, then sorted manually. They are de-stemmed and crushed, followed by maceration in temperature controlled tanks. The two grape varietals are vinified separately and are matured in tank for a period before being bottled ready for release. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, fruity wine with notes of spice and dried herbs.
