Domaine Grand Nicolet, Côte-Du-Rhône 2021

Winemaker Jean-Pierre Bertrand tends over 70 acres of vines, many of which are Rasteau’s oldest, by hand. Winemaker Jean-Pierre Bertrand cares for his land sustainably, avoiding chemical treatments and following Organic principles as much as the growing season allows. The average age of vines at the estate is 45 years, with some very-old vine Grenache pushing 80 years old.

Notes of blueberry and black plum preserves have a jammy, concentrated tone in this full-bodied blend of Grenache and Carignan sourced from clay and limestone soils. Fine tannins, long finish.
