A smoldering, big-boned, smoky version, with tar, incense and singed alder notes surrounding a core of ripe plum, bitter black cherry and mocha-dusted black plum, with bacon fat details. Shows a lot of tightly coiled power and density knit together by grippy tannins. Needs time and decanting. Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Best from 2025 through 2035 ... More details

Lastly, the 2020 Vinsobres Les Côtes has an almost Côte Rôtie-like vibe in its black raspberry, spring flower, game, and tapenade-driven aromas and flavors. Pure, medium to full-bodied, and incredibly elegant on the palate, with polished tannins, it's another remarkable wine from this estate, which needs to be on every reader’s radar.

Full-bodied, concentrated, this has those tight, serrated Vinsobres tannins and balancing acidity. It's a big wine that will take a little while to come round. Perhaps just a touch overripe, but this has plenty of substance and guts.

Region: Rhone Valley

The southern French wine region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers for over two thousand years, with the first grapevines of the region being cultivated in around 600 BCE when the ancient Greeks arrived with their knowledge of viticulture and eagerness to produce more wine. Today, the region is famed around the world for the excellence of its produce, and has dozens of wineries making the most of the wide range of grape varietals which flourish there. In the northern sub-region, the continental climate and brisk winds coming off the Central Massif allow wineries to grow a smaller range of varietals – predominantly Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier, whereas the southern, more Mediterranean sub-region allows far more range. Here, dozens of varietals are grown for the production of white, red and rosé wines, all packed full of flavor and able to express the unique terroir they are grown on.

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.
