Père Anselme La Fiole Réserve Côtes du Rhône Villages 2019
Côtes du Rhône Villages, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThe unique twisted bottle used by La Fiole was designed and made with the cooperation of local Provençal glass and ceramic artisans in 1952. Its shape represents the gnarled, twisted vines typical of the region due to the constant struggle to grow against the Mistral wind. La Fiole Reserve is matured in traditional 100 year old large oak barrels and concrete vats for 12 months, plus several more months in bottles. A strict selection of grenache and syrah leads to an intense Reserve version of this Côtes du Rhône. Look for deep colour, black and red fruit that comes with sturdy tannins, cocoa, and licorice. There is plenty of acidity, so there is no rush to drink. For those in a hurry, think lamb chops or a pork roast to assimilate all the edges.
