Gabriel Meffre Plan de Dieu Côtes du Rhône Villages Saint Mapalis 2012
Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThis Plan de Dieu Saint-Mapalis is a 50/30/20 blend of grenache, mourvèdre and syrah from Cairanne, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Sablet that opens up with a fresh savoury garrigue liquorice nose. The entry round and in this case showing a bit more finesse than the regular CdRs. The palate is awash in rich, red soft fruits with bits of blackberry, blueberry, cherry fruit and curry flavours. Impressive dry red that would be excellent with stuffed turkey.Tasted: 15 June 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $17.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
