Côtes du Rhône Villages

Medium

Cork

Showing a good deep colour for a Counoise. Fresh and vibrant blackberry and black cherry. There’s a gentle sweetness to the fruit here, and it works well. Quite tannic and grippy, with an enjoyable slick of smooth, concentrated black fruit. The high alcohol stated on the label – 15% – isn't apparent on the palate, it hides it well. Traditional vinification (as opposed to carbonic maceration), using 50% whole bunch –  it matures late in the season, by which time the stalks are also well ripened, says winemaker Jean-Marc Autran.
