NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Vignobles Mayard Clos du Calvaire Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a complex and powerful red wine, with deep aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cassis and a hint of pepper.On the palate, the wine shows great structure, with layers of dark fruit flavors and a touch of spice. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, leading to a long, balanced finish. This is a beautiful expression of the terroir of the Rhône Valley, and a delightful accompaniment to grilled meats or game.

ORIGINS
Winery: Vignobles Mayard
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
