Guigal Côtes du Rhône 2013

Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceCôtes du Rhône may not be the flagship red at Guigal but it's the money-maker and reliable and they produce a lot of it. The blend is 50/45/5 syrah/grenache and mourvèdre. It is said they ultimately select one out of every hundred lots they taste. The 2013 is a solid bottling of dried, floral cherry fruit, pepper, black olives and a hint of meatiness. It’s classic Côtes du Rhône with a little extra lift. Rich and round you can confidently cellar this for another five years. A perfect match for lamb osso buco.Tasted: 27 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
