Famille Perrin Rasteau L'Andéol 2010
Rasteau, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceRasteau L'Andéol comes off a two hectare vineyard, on a bowl-shaped site (gravel over sand and clay) that faces south which is well-protected from the Mistral. The result is very ripe (sweet tasting) grenache that is best over five to six years. The 2010 benefits forma great growing season and only ten percent sees and wood (foudres). Expect dense, sweet, supple, glossy red fruit flavours with flecks of cocoa, earth. Ready to drink. Try this with grilled lamb chops.
