Guigal Côtes du Rhône 2009
Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThe Cotes du Rhone may not be the flagship red at Guigal but it's the money-maker and they produce a lot of it - now near 3.5 million bottles spread across some 500 growers. The blend is now equal parts syrah and with five percent mourvèdre. Winemaker Philippe Guigal is fine tuning this stylish red that mixes dry, red, floral fruit with pepper, smoked meat and just a hint of spice from a touch of mourvèdre. Powerful but round this will cellar well and improve for the next five to ten years. A perfect match for lamb chops or osso buco.Tasted: 06 August 2012Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
