WINE DESCRIPTION
Roger Sabon Côtes Du Rhône is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker Roger Sabon in the Côtes Du Rhône appellation of France. The vineyards are located on the rocky hillsides of the region, which provide excellent drainage and exposure to the sun, resulting in grapes with concentrated flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, which add complexity and depth to the wine. The style of the wine is characterized by its rich and full-bodied texture, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This classic Côtes Du Rhône from Roger Sabon is a medium-bodied red wine with a brilliant ruby hue.On the nose, a bouquet of ripe red cherry, cranberry, blackberry and hints of clove, pepper and bay leaf aromas. On the palate, this wine has a well-structured tannic backbone, bright acidity and nuanced notes of plum, raspberry and tea. The finish is long, elegant and smooth.

ORIGINS
Winery: Roger Sabon
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
