NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Domaine Pichat Côte-Rôtie Champon's is a highly regarded wine from the Côte-Rôtie appellation in the northern Rhône Valley of France.On the nose, Domaine Pichat Côte-Rôtie Champon's offers an enticing bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberry and black cherry, accompanied by hints of violet and smoked meat. These aromas are further enhanced by subtle notes of black pepper and earthy undertones.
Flavors of ripe black fruits dominate, complemented by savory elements of cured meat and a touch of black olive. The wine's well-integrated acidity adds freshness and balance to the overall profile.
It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, game dishes, and hearty stews.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Pichat
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
