Grand Ferrage Cotes de Provence Rose 2020
Variety:
Rosé
|
Cinsault, Grenache Noir, Syrah, Rolle / Vermentino
Winery: M. Chapoutier
Region:
Rhône Valley,
France
Vinous 91 - Glistening orange-pink. Incisive red berry and citrus fruit scents are complemented by building floral and mineral nuances. Silky, dry and precise, showing good heft to the strawberry and blood orange flavors, which are braced by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Smoothly blends depth and energy and finishes very long and focused, with lingering florality and a suggestion of chalky minerals.
Wine Spectator 88 - This lively rosé has a glossy texture sporting cherry, tea and blood orange notes that are fresh and inviting. Accents of herb and stony mineral fine-tune the finish. Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Rolle.

Rhône Valley, France
Located in southern France, The Rhône wine region (situated in The Rhône Valley) produces numerous wines adhering to various Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) designations. The Rhône is divided into two main sub-regions with distinct vinicultural traditions: Northern Rhône and Southern Rhône.
As with many other French wines, wines from The Rhône feature subtle, balanced, and complex flavours teased from the careful blending of the many grape varieties grown in the region. Noteworthy exceptions however include wines which adhere to the Côte-Rôtie and Cornas appellations, both which must consist almost exclusively of Syrah (the only red grape grown in Northern Rhône). Côte-Rôtie can be blended only with white grapes, so to maintain the already full-bodied tones of Syrah. Cornas must be 100% Syrah.
The Southern Rhône sub-region has a more Mediterranean climate, with milder winters and hotter summers as compared with the North. This alternating weather pattern, along with the geological conditions of Southern Rhône, results in a range of ‘microclimates’, giving rise to a wide diversity of grapes. The Southern Rhône’s most famous red wine is Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a blend of up to thirteen varieties of grape (as permitted by the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC).
For the lover of deep, compound, mosiacs of flavour The Rhône offers much to experience, learn from, and to enjoy.
