Côtes du Rhône Villages can sometimes be an afterthought after making a Cru or Village wine – not so with ‘Les Coteaux’;  Grenache Noir and Syrah are expressly sourced from some of the best village vineyards within the Côtes du Rhône Villages. ‘Les Coteaux’ is mostly unoaked; a fifth of the blend, sourced from Séguret and Cairanne, is aged for 22 months in a nursery of barrels of varying age and size to bring depth and subtle complex notes to this wine, which punches well above its weight.

Brambly fruit underpinned by subtle oaky nuances, lovely sweet spice; warm star anise with a touch of cinnamon. This classic Côtes du Rhône Villages is enriched with specially-selected parcels from the cru vineyards of Séguret, Sablet and Cairanne.

“Forward, with ripe blood orange, plum and cherry preserve flavors mixed with a singed mesquite accent. Slightly taut on the finish due to an extracted hint, but there’s still plenty of fruit here. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2020.”-  James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 30th November 2018
