Tasting Notes
The Chateauneuf du Pape is 85% Grenache, the rest Syrah and Mourvedre. Aged in cement tank. The vineyards are located next door to the famous Rayas property. Until 1998 the production was delivered to the co-operative, but the young generation Caroline and Frederic Charrier changed this and started bottling at the domaine. - Importer Note
Domaine Courtedune is located next to the famed Domaine Rayas in the Southern Rhone Valley. Perhaps that's why this wine is so good - location, location, location!
Mind-blowingly good for the money! This Cotes du Rhone is one of the most interesting, ideologically complexing wines I'v ecome across in recent times. Ideologically complexing?? Well, it's not your average, simple Cotes du Rhone. Although it would pair well with Pizza, it's far from a "pizza wine". You have to throw all your preconceived ideas of Rhone wines, good or bad, out the window. This is elegant and complex, floral, savoury and dark fruited - balanced. It has everything you want in a wine at this price and more. Just sensational!
