This is a classic traditional French wine for special occasions... a food wine that loves to go with roasts with all the trimmings covered with rich gravy and save a bit for later on with mature cheeses! Rich, full, concentrated, bursting with summer fruits all backed up with a spicy herby finish.
The Rhône Valley has three quality levels, Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages and the highest level Cru des Côtes du Rhône. Vinsobres is one of 17 Rhône villages who can use the term 'Cru'. They are the best the Rhône can produce. Thierry Walet Winemaker
