Pierre Amadieu 2012 Cotes du Rhone Reserve 750ml
Winemaker's Notes:
When the Syrah grape grown in the pebbly, gravely soil of the right bank of the Rhône meet very ripened Grenache grape grown in a terroir of clay and limestone...
The Syrah grape, grown in the pebbly, gravely soil of the right bank of the Rhône, is the perfect partner for the Grenache grape, grown in a terroir of clay and limestone. Harvests start only once the grapes have been tasted and we are sure that they have attained the desired balance of intense aromas, a deep colour and good structure.
Each bunch is picked by hand and vinified in stainless steel tanks to allow the fruit and the freshness of each different grape variety to express itself fully. The wines are then matured for six months in oak barrels to accentuate their exceptional aromatic complexity.
This deep-coloured wine reveals delicious aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and raspberry. Excellent concentration on the palate is enveloped in velvety tannins, with a pleasant freshness on the finish.
Appreciate now or within the next 5 years at room temperature (around 18°C) with grilled beef or a dark chocolate mousse with a hint of ginger.
