Côtes du Rhône

Medium

Cork

This has a remarkably serious nose; intense and sappy with a bright, juicy palate that’s open and ready to go. It’s well balanced and very fresh. Syrah heavy, but not ungenerous – successful for such a large volume blend, particularly in a vintage like this.

Made with 50% Syrah, 45% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre, all aged in foudre. Philippe made a much smaller selection of wines in 2018 due to difficulties in sourcing adequate volumes of good quality wines. He mostly bought from sectors with more Syrah and Mourvèdre, since they tended to perform better.
