Tasting Set Includes:
- Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rose
Clear, brilliant and fresh. Fresh with an expressive nose of red fruits and citrus. Notes of raspberry and redcurrant. On the palate fruity, fine and round. A well-balanced and elegant wine. - Chateau Mont Redon Cotes du Rhone Reserve Blanc
In this appellation, they want to elaborate very elegant and fruity wines, which can be appreciated within 2 years after their harvest. - Jean-Luc Colombo Cotes du Rhone Les Abeilles
Intense purple color. On the nose, Seductive aromas of red fruits, coriander and bay leaf. This is a fresh and silky wine, with notes of licorice and spice on the palate. A food-friendly wine which will perfectly match grilled lamb, pork and assorted cheeses. - Chateau La Nerthe Les Cassagnes Cotes du Rhone Villages
Power, structure and color are the signatures of this vintage. In appearance, a very deep purple with violet hints. On the nose, it's very expressive with notes of small red and black berries along with floral and spice notes. On the palate it's very round, dominated by the Syrah's spicy notes. Thanks to the tannins it shows excellent maturity and very good length with full ripeness. Additionally, it's well balanced with significant aging potential.
