WINE DESCRIPTION
Guillaume Gilles Les Peyrouses is a highly sought-after wine produced by Guillaume Gilles, a renowned winemaker in the Rhône Valley. The wine is made from grapes grown in vineyards known for their steep, terraced slopes and granite soils. The vineyard features old vines that are carefully tended by hand, resulting in low yields and high-quality fruit. The winemaking process is traditional, with fermentation in concrete tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and complex, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earth. It is a true expression of the unique terroir of Cornas and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

ORIGINS
Winery: Guillaume Gilles
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
