"Textbook, smooth and peppery Côtes-du-Rhône from classic vintage"
The brilliant 2010 Noble Dame des Treilles Cotes du Rhone, which is 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah, has a beautifully sweet nose of blueberry, blackberry, pepper, and licorice. The wine is complex, medium to full-bodied, has no hard edges, and should drink nicely for 3-5 years
"What a year! Wine critic and Rhône expert Robert Parker says 2010 "is looking like a potentially superb vintage - may come close to rivaling that stupendous year (2007)."
There's never been a better time to discover the sun drenched wines of Southern France, with 2010 bringing an embarrassment of riches in the form of a balanced growing season.
