New Wines for Autumn 2009
2007 Côtes du Rhône Rouge “Première Côte”
£10.90 per bottle or £8.99 per bottle when case of 12 purchased
Grenache (60 %), Syrah (30 %), Mourvèdre (10%)
The soil is composed mainly by large pebbles. The region has a warm, dry climate, which is nonetheless modified by the influence of the powerful mistral wind. The combination of these factors permits an environmentally friendly approach to viticulture, with minimum intervention.
After a light pressing, the grapes undergo a long fermentation of 5-6 weeks, with soft extractions, at a maximum temperature of 25 C. In order to allow the full expression of a terroir both maritime and continental which is associated with the rounded stones found in this region, our Cotes du Rhone is matured in traditional concrete vats, out of contact with the air, for at least 8 months. Each varietal is vinified and matured separately before being blended for the final wine.
Bright red in colour, our Premiere Cote displays aromas of spices and wild herbs (garrigues) and red fruits. The palate is defined by the sweetness of the fruit, and the softness of the tannins, with a freshness which brings finesse and elegance.
