Côtes du Rhône Lavau Red 2020

LOCATION : This wine comes from a selection of vineyards from across the southern Rhône Valley, extending from Montélimar to Nîmes. VINEYARDS AND TERROIR : The Grenache and Syrah are planted in clay-limestone plains and cultivated to achieve yields of around 50 hl/ha GRAPE VARIETIES : Grenache noir (60%) Syrah (40%) PRODUCTION : The grapes are entirely de-stemmed and placed in temperature-controlled vats to macerate for around 15 days with only pumping-over operations, after a cold pre-fermentation maceration. The wine is aged in vats until it is bottled 1 year later. TASTING NOTES : A lovely expression of blackcurrants and crushed raspberries on the nose, fresh and fruity on the palate. Enjoy with a variety of dishes and grilled meats.
