Famille Perrin Coudoulet de Beaucastel 2013
Rasteau, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThe 30ha of Coudoulet sits just east of the Beaucastel vineyard on both sides of A7 motorway. There are many similarities to Beaucastel, including the soils and the large pebbles they refer to as ‘Galets Roulés.’ The 40/30/20/10 blend of grenache, mourvèdre, cinsault and syrah is fermented separately in concrete and blended after malolactic fermentation before ageing in oak foudres for 6 months. Look for a spicy, fresh red fruit nose with juicy red and black fruit flavours and prominent acidity. Soft and balanced, the finish is mix of black raspberry and pepper laced garrigue. Grilled lamb chops would be a perfect match.Tasted: 21 July 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| ON | $30.00 | 750ml | LCBO |
