Our Cotes de Rhone has a beautiful red color robe with purple-violet tints.
The nose is pleasant, open and rich. Charecteristic of young Rhône valley wines, there are sensual aromas of ripe red fruits such as raspeberry, crushed strawberry, grenade, juicy cherry. With air, sweet spices appear (cinnamon and nutmeg) adding nice complexity. The palate is full and the attack is supple. The texture in the mouth is quite lovely with smooth and silky tannins. There is a good balance between freshness and sweetness, with an almost creaminess to the palate.
