WINE DESCRIPTION
Louis Bernard Côtes-du-Rhône is a red wine produced by Louis Bernard, a renowned winemaker in the Rhône Valley. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation, which is known for its diverse terroir and ideal growing conditions. The vineyards feature a mix of soils, including limestone, clay, and sand, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of earthiness. It is a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Louis Bernard
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
