Shimmering violet. Powerful, mineral- and spice-tinged boysenberry and cherry preserve scents are complemented by hints of vanilla and potpourri. Sappy and impressively concentrated, offering energetic red/blue fruit liqueur, spicecake, cola and candied lavender flavors sharpened by a jolt of smoky minerality.

Purple color with shimmering reflections. On the nose of powerful fragrances: wild blackberries, ripe cherry, highlighted with vanilla notes and dried flowers. Opulent on the palate, this wine is impressive in concentration, it delivers flavors of almost jammy red fruits, sweet spices (cinnamon), complemented by more vegetal touches (menthol) almost smoked. The finish is surprisingly long, the solid and homogeneous tannins bode well for ageing!

Region: Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
