WINE DESCRIPTION

Leon Perdigal Côtes du Rhône is a high-quality wine produced by the renowned Leon Perdigal winery. This wine comes from the Côtes du Rhône appellation, which is known for producing some of the best wines in France. The vineyards used to produce this wine are located in the heart of the Rhône Valley, where the soil is rich in minerals and the climate is ideal for growing grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand harvesting and careful aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and complex blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. This wine is perfect for those who appreciate a full-bodied and flavorful red wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Côtes du Rhône blend from Leon Perdigal is a rich, full-bodied red with a nose of ripe red fruits and a hint of spice.On the palate, the wine has a bright acidity and soft tannins that lead to a long, lingering finish. Notes of leather, tobacco, and dried herbs add complexity to the juicy fruit flavors. Balanced and elegant, this is a great example of the classic Rhône style.

ORIGINS

Winery: Leon Perdigal

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.
