Côtes du Rhône Villages

Full

Cork

Abundant savoury blackberry fruit leads to a really quite full-bodied, powerful, potent palate that shows a sappy liquorice flavour. The alcohol is quite marked, but there's also good acidity and surprising freshness. This is very Gigondas in style, much more so than Sablet, and should age with interest. The oak is quite marked but well integrated. Made by Eric Chauvin, fifth-generation winemaker, who works organically. The grapes were destemmed, and there were no yeast additions, followed by nine months in American oak.
