On the right bank of the Rhône river terraced vineyards stretch up towards the Cévennes mountains. Here Luc Tallaron and his team of growers nurture high altitude vines, mostly Grenache and Syrah, like the rest of the southern Rhône valley. The climate is cooler, which lends the area's wines their unique freshness, while the persistent Mistral wind ensures small, concentrated grapes. Luc Tallaron has made wine all over France, Chile and even Venezuela, but for the last 30 years he has been settled in his native Ardèche (the western part of southern Rhône). He's certain you'll enjoy this red. From the first sip it's clear this is a Rhône classic: filled with juicy black fruit and peppery spice. A great red solo, or versatile with food.
