NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine from southern Rhône has a classic nose of red currants, blackberries, and hints of oregano and pepper.On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with raspberry, black cherry, and a hint of dark chocolate. Its tannins are well-integrated and provide a smooth, long finish. This wine is an excellent example of a Costières-de-Nîmes, and a great pairing with grilled meats and hearty stews.

ORIGINS
Winery: M. Chapoutier
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
