Grenache is the dominant grape variety in this Côtes-du-Rhône, giving it roundness and suppleness, alongside Syrah, which provides structure, and Mourvèdre, which brings complexity and finesse. A well-rounded wine with notes of red berry marmalade (strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry), spice and pepper. Supple, mellow tannins give this wine fullness and volume on the palate. Don't wait to try it!
