Maison Bouachon Côtes du Rhône Les Rabassières 2017 (France)

Description

• Spiced blackberry
• Redcurrant
• Structured
• Silky texture

 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.

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.

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.
