Relatively unusually for a Côtes du Rhône, this has a majority of Syrah in the blend with Grenache (the other way round is more typical), and the resulting wine feels a bit more serious and structured than most Southern Rhône reds. Mix of cherries and blackberries, with a bit of liquorice and a lovely floral scent that I think most critics ascribe to violets. This would be a great all-rounder with food, going with everything from chicken casserole to steak, moussaka to roast lamb.
