DESCRIPTION
This is a relatively new estate in the southern Rhone, dating only from 1976. It is run by Anne Foucher, who has earned a stellar reputation for her Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but she also makes this Côtes du Rhône from just beyond the Châteauneuf du Pape border. As with the estate’s grand vin, the fruit is all hand-picked, with a rigorous sorting process and vinification takes place in large, old oak barrels.
The result is a wine packed with Rhône character and complexity like its famous big brother but is also soft, supple and eminently drinkable in its youth. Blended from 70 per cent Grenache, which gives masses of juicy, mouthfilling fruit, and 30 per cent Syrah adding layers of spice and pepper, this is a real “vin de -plaisir.”
