Fast delivery. the wine is ready to drink now, the elegant aromas come through well. the grenache syrah mourvedre blend is to my taste. some might say too alcoholic (15 degrees), but that's not a problem.

A harmonious and powerful wine, to be enjoyed at the end of a meal, as it is difficult to drink another wine afterwards which will seem bland.

If you like powerful, fruity wines, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy with red meat or blue cheese. I highly recommend it. Bravo to Domaine Grand Nicolet.

Very impressed by the 2016 vintage, which was exceptional (now impossible to find), I was perhaps hoping for the same level for the 2017 vintage. So a slight disappointment, but the 2017 is still an honest vintage.

Powerful nose of spices and red fruit. Pleasant black fruit on the palate. A pleasurable wine to share with gourmets around a piece of meat.

A pleasant wine to drink now. Quite full-bodied, robust and fleshy, even rocky. A nice surprise!
Domaine Grand Nicolet
Domaine Grand Nicolet is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 9 wines available to purchase, including the wine Rasteau Vieilles Vignes 2020.
Appellation
Rasteau
The appellation Rasteau is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine Grand Nicolet and its 9 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
