From a region long famed as being home to the best value wines in France, this Côtes du Rhône is a cut above. It’s a special cuvée blended by Olivier Ravoire, whose family cellar works with a handful of small family properties in both Provence and the Rhône. Combining two time honoured grapes native to this part of southern France, this red has attractive depth of flavour and spicy complexity with lots of soft, ripe bramble fruit. It is already very approachable, thanks to the warmth of the Mediterranean climate and precision winemaking. 2015 was "a truly sensational vintage" (Robert Parker) for the Rhône and it shows in the balance and rich ripeness of this attractive red. A classic match with herby casseroles, lamb and great at barbecues.
