This luscious red perfectly captures the ripeness, depth and sheer drinkability of the best Côtes du Rhônes. From Olivier Ravoire, who lives and breathes the Rhône, the wine is from an outstanding vintage and is brimful with peppery black fruit.

From a region long famed as being home to the best value wines in France, this Côtes du Rhône is a cut above. It’s a special cuvée blended by Olivier Ravoire, whose family cellar works with a handful of small family properties in both Provence and the Rhône. Combining two time honoured grapes native to this part of southern France, this red has attractive depth of flavour and spicy complexity with lots of soft, ripe bramble fruit. It’s already very approachable, thanks to the warmth of the Mediterranean climate and precision winemaking. 2016 was “an ideal vintage” (Wine Spectator) for the southern Rhône, possibly even finer than 2015, and has produced rich, ripe and well balanced reds. Enjoy this wine with herby casseroles or at a barbecue.
