This Côtes du Rhône has been a work in progress for over 400 years. That's how long the family has been farming the land. Passed from generation to generation, things have obviously evolved over the years. The style incorporates modern winemaking techniques without sacrificing tradition. And yes, this is all estate fruit. While their flagship is now Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this blend should not go overlooked. Almost equal parts Grenache and Syrah, it will take you to the Rhone immediately with crunch, earthy red fruits, and licorice. With the defining characteristic of spice quality that one can only expect from great Rhone reds.
