Guillaume Gonnet Côtes du Rhône Le Reveur 2015

Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThe Gonnets bought their own plots of land in Châteauneuf du Pape in 2015 and set about making wines they hoped reflect their origin. Employing minimal interference, following the tenets of biodynamic farming, and using natural yeasts, the goal is simply wines of place. I found this wine in Costco in Hawaii and wasn’t disappointed given its $6.99 price. Le Reveur is an 80/20 grenache/syrah blend that is soft, round and elegant with a refreshing raspberry front end with a juicy, black fruit, mineral, wet stone, garrigue back end. Ready to drink and super value. Aged in concrete tanks for 12 months. Real wine at a real price.Tasted: 17 January 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
