“Vivid ruby-red. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of blackberry, cherry compote, potpourri and minerals, with a hint of smokiness emerging slowly. Supple and expansive in the mouth, offering concentrated dark fruit, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that gain sweetness with air. The spicy quality carries through the persistent, penetrating finish, which is firmed by supple, harmonious tannins.”

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 blend of Rhone Valley varieties - Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre for reds (the 'GSM'), or Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne for whites - yielding warm, spicy, generous wines.
