Varietal

Red Rhone Blend

The Rhone region of France has been producing superb quality white blended wines for centuries, and is a region highly respected and esteemed around the world, with plenty of New World countries keen to emulate the styles and techniques displayed by the historic wineries and skilled vintners of the area. The secret to the Rhone's success when it comes to blended white wines is the careful and expert selection of certain grape varietals, which each lend special features to the blended wine and bring balance and harmony to the bottle. Most commonly, blended white Rhone wines feature no more than two grapes of either the Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne or Grenache Blanc varietals, and are renowned for their exceptional flavors and highly aromatic, floral character.

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.

From the everyday pleasures of Côtes du Rhône to the prestige of its village and cru designations, exploring this appellation provides a captivating introduction to the rich tapestry of Rhône Valley winemaking.

JS 93pts

James Suckling

Seductive with an aromatic cornucopia of red and black fruits. Generous supple tannins give this a gentle chalky texture on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Long, silky finish. From vines just outside the border of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. A cuvee of 80% grenache and 20% syrah, matured entirely in concrete. From organically grown grapes.

Winery Notes

Rated 92 - 2023 Côtes-du-Rhône "Beatus Ille"- Famille Isabel Ferrando As I mentioned last year, Isabel Ferrando's Côtes-du-Rhône "Beatus Ille" composed from a blend of eighty percent grenache and fifteen percent cinsault, primarily from the lieu à dit of La Lionne, that lies just outside of the appellation boundary of Châteauneuf du Pape. Isabel blends in five percent syrah to the cuvée, from her vines in Châteauneuf proper. The 2023 version is again, nicely low in octane for Côtes-du-Rhône these days, tipping the scales at 13.5 percent octane. The wine's aromatic constellation is bright and complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of red and black raspberries, fruitcake, pepper, grilled venison, a superb base of soil tones, hickory smoke and a gentle topnote of garrigue. On the palate the wine is deep, complex and full-bodied, with an excellent core of fruit, fine soil signature and grip, suave tannins and impressive length and complexity on the long and impeccably balanced finish. This is better than an awful lot of Châteauneuf du Pape being made today and is a superb deal! It is approachable now, but really deserves a bit of time in the cellar to soften up its tannins a bit. - John Gilman, View from the Cellar
