"(From young vines in Cornas) Ruby-red. Pungent raspberry and wild strawberry aromas accented by olive and violet. Suave, precise red berry flavors are firmed by fresh acidity, giving the wine compelling energy and clarity. Finishes brisk and long, with fine tannins. 'This started off wild and herbaceous but it's all fruit now,' noted Pierre-Marie Clape."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
