Description
"A lovely soothing red; the fragrant bouquet shows dark cherry, strawberry tart, mixed spice and nutmeg aromas, followed by a beautifully rounded palate that is elegantly weighted and smooth. The wine offers attractive fruit intensity together with spicy nuances, making it a delightful partner to rich savoury dishes. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2018
As canny wine buyers know, the words 'Villages on a Côtes du Rhône' on the label indicates a step up in quality. These top villages enjoy a similar soil and climate to Châteauneuf, but without the price tag! You'll find lush velvety fruit with spice and herb notes. Not to mention the 99/100 rating by the Wine Spectator Magazine of the 2016 vintage. VOILA!
The Domaine des Avaux Cotes Côtes du Rhône is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan with a beautifully fragrant nose. This inviting bouquet displays dark plum and blueberry characters with subtle spice and roasted almond notes. It is ripe, rounded and supple on the palate showing lovely fruit richness, finishing long and smooth. A modern expression offering terrific drinking.
Food Pairing: We think a great Côtes du Rhône should be plush, fragrant and smooth, simply put the perfect match for midweek fare or a weekend BBQ and this wine's blackcurrant and pepper. notes shan't disappoint
