Tasting Wines from the South of France, Part Deux
Lirac, Vacqueyras, Gigondas... the words roll off the tongue. What's more, their wines taste even better than the words sound!
The southern Rhone has hot, dry summers and rugged, rocky soils. These warm-weather wines are generally high in alcohol and big on flavor. Many of the wines feature grape blends, and you'll be sure to find plenty of Grenache, in all its garrigue-y glory. Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Carignon can also be found among them.
In this "all red" tasting, we'll compare wines from 5 different appellations inside the region. How different can they taste? Find out for yourself!
We'll taste:
- Chateau St Cosme Little James Basket Rouge, Vin de France
- Chateau du Montfaucon, Cotes du Rhone Rouge
- Domaine du Joncier, Lirac Rouge
- Domaine Sang de Cailloux, Vaqueyras Rouge
- Domaine Montirius "Terres Des Aines", Gigondas
This tasting is part of our Global Vineyard Passport Series where, every third Tuesday, Bob Barrett, Certified Specialist of Wine, shares his knowledge with a guided tasting of five different wines.
