Côtes du Rhône

Medium

A tasting of the component parts - Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah. Tasting the Fonsalette Cinsault is always one of the highlights of my year; it has one of the most incredible, soaring fragrances imaginable, all bitter orange, herbal bitters and pink peppercorns, more rosé in colour than red. The Grenache has a minty herbal expression with bright acidity and fine tannins, while the Syrah is much darker in hue, with higher acidity and firmer tannin. More than ever, this will be a smart buy in 2016.
