Description
This younger sibling consistently goes beyond what is expected for a Côtes du Rhône. The 2017 is much juicier and richer in style than ’16. In ’16, the chalky acidity was much more pronounced, which in ’17 has been replaced with slightly more emphasis on tannins. Red cherries, blueberries and plums are supported by fig, cedar, fennel and sweet spice. Drink now to 2027.
