2021 Cotes du Rhone

The E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2021 is an expressive red wine that embodies the spirit of the Rhône Valley. It is a typical blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, showcasing aromatic intensity and an elegant structure. Unlike many other Côtes du Rhône wines, this blend is notably Syrah-based (50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre), a Northern Rhône approach that contributes greater aromatic intensity and structure. The wine offers tremendous warmth, spice, and pleasure, with notes of ripe red fruits and sweet spices, leading to a velvety and well-balanced palate. It is aged for 18 months in oak barrels, resulting in unusual complexity and a substantial, generous profile. This wine is considered an extraordinary value and a benchmark for the region.
