organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed
with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with
overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all
round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now

My Review: This Cotes du Rhone didn't have much presence in the nose, but had a lot of physical presence on my tongue. It left a bubblegum-y texture behind, like I had just chewed a new chalky piece of Dubble Bubble. It wasn't outstanding, but not bad. I'd like to have it with a meal.
