In a few words ...
"aoc côtes-du-rhône is an appellation d'origine contrôlée located on the banks of the rhône between vienne and avignon. Its production area covers a large part of the Rhone Valley vineyards, as it is a regional appellation in which many other appellations exist. Vintage 2019: the 2017 vintage produced record-breaking weather conditions, resulting first and foremost in a particularly early harvest.... It was also one of the smallest harvests of the last forty years, with average yields of 19 hl/ha. The old vines reacted very well and didn't suffer so much, producing well-balanced wines with silky tannins and excellent fruit definition. Vinification: Hand-picked with sorting in the vineyard and then in the cellar. 80% and 20% whole bunch eraflage, followed by fermentation in concrete and stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts. Aging: 90% in demi-muids (600l) (30% of 1 wine and 70% of 7 wines) and 10% in amphoras. Tasting notes: this wine has a lovely crimson-red color with madder highlights. The nose is delicate, with aromas of blackberry jam. The palate is beautiful, dense, rich in structure and substance, yet suave with smooth, elegant tannins. It is dominated by red fruits combined with roasted cocoa beans. Beautiful smoothness. Food & wine pairings: matured Galician rib-eye steak - rack of lamb with Provence herbs - roast kid with Tarbais beans". Read more

Appellation
Côtes-du-Rhône
The appellation Côtes-du-Rhône is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Clos du Caillou and its 7 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..
