Love the big reds of Châteauneuf du Pape? Then this is the wine for you, a classic GSM blend from the 2016 vintage rated 96-99/100 by Wine Spectator Magazine, Decanter have called this “unmissable, one of the greats”…

A youthful, juicy Vacqueyras - young, vibrant and packed with bilberries and cracked black pepper. A mouthful of vinous joy, accessible now but built to last" International Wine Challenge 2017

Located in Châteauneuf du Pape since 1898, Caves Saint-Pierre is a winery whose reputation has been built on its knowledge of the vineyards along with expertise in the blending and ageing of wines for over one hundred years. This appellation is just next door to Châteauneuf du Pape, with similar stony vineyards, produces sumptuous, rich, velvety reds made with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, a classic GSM blend, but without the big price tag you pay over the road in Châteauneuf du Pape.

Vacqueyras was upgraded from Côtes du Rhône Villages status to its own fully-fledged appellation in 1990 and has never looked back! Now many of the wines are of Châteauneuf du Pape quality without the price tag. The Caves Saint-Pierre is a classic example of a wine that completely overdelivers on the price quality front from a winery with over 100 years of experience.

1 x Maison Bouachon Côtes Du Rhône Les Rabassières 2017 (France)

Awarded Gold Medal: Gilbert & Gaillard 2018

Awarded Gold Medal: Decanter World Wine Awards 2018

Awarded 95/100 Points: Decanter World Wine Awards 2018

This luscious red perfectly captures the ripeness, depth and sheer drinkability of the best Côtes du Rhônes. Made from the usual suspects from this part of France - Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. This beauty has rich, ripe flavours of spiced blackberry, raspberry and redcurrant. Lovely, long, smooth and silky on the palate but with plenty of structure making it feel more serious than the price tag suggests.

When it comes to value and flavour, Côtes du Rhône is known for constantly over-delivering.  This new arrival absolutely smashes it out of the park for quality and value. Rich, warming and seductively smooth, Côtes du Rhône from the southern Rhône valley are among the best value classic wines of France.  This wine is as close as you could hope to come to an authentic Châteauneuf style without paying the premium. Finest Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from neighbouring vineyards combine beautifully to give herb scented, velvety black fruit, liquorice and spice.
