"Deep ruby with purple highlights and a broad ochre rim. Underlain with subtle herbal savouriness and red cherry fruit, a hint of fresh fig, delicate liquorice, and tangerine zest with vanilla and nougat emerging as the wine opens up. Powerful and complex on the palate with fine fruit sweetness, ripe plum, and vivid and ripe tannins; long and mineral on the finish with some roasted aromas. This will age for decades."

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.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
