Père Anselme La Fiole Côtes du Rhône 2022
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceStraight up, ready to drink Côtes du Rhône with a mostly supple texture that runs through the wine. Cherries and raspberries with a lick of licorice finish the palate, leaving a solid mid-week red at a bargain price. The Brotte family is behind the Pere Anselme LaFiole Côtes du Rhône, a blend of grenache and syrah sold in a bottle shaped after the vines of the region that bend and grow in natural shapes in the face of the ever present Mistral Wind. The vines span many soil types, and each plot was planted to match the variety. The 70% grenache thrives on sandy-clay, hillside soils facing south-southeast, yielding fleshy fruit. The syrah (25%) grows over silty clay at the bottom of the slopes, bringing fresh fruit, while the remaining 5% of mourvèdre, counoise, and cinsault bring the spice.Tasted: 11 February 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $17.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
