Les Halos de Jupiter Côtes du Rhône 2015
Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceMade in conjunction with consultants Michel Gassier and Philippe Cambie and named for the king of all gods, this line of wines is always great value for price on our market. The Côtes Du Rhône is a blend of old vine grenache with 10 percent syrah and 5 percent mourvèdre from a high-altitude vineyard near Roaix (northern point of the Southern Rhone). Grapes are destemmed but not crushed, and spend one year in concrete before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Dusky blue florals, plum, dried rosemary is softly drawn across grippy, gritty tannins to a drying finish that lingers with violets. Textural and lightly touched (the concrete is impressive here). Authentic, honest and ready to drink with bistro fare.Tasted: 03 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml |
