2020 Cotes du Rhone, Chateau de Domazan, Rhone Valley, France

Château de Domazan was built in the 14th century in the middle of Côte du Rhône vineyard, nearby Avignon.

The ground is covered with large pebbles that were rolled and rounded on the old Rhône bed. These pebbles that can weigh up to 30 kg are very beneficial to the grapes because they provide excellent conditions for ripening. They store up the heat from the sun during the day and release it slowly through the mild summer nights.

This is an excellent value Cotes du Rhone with a floral and spicy aroma. On the palate it is nicely rounded with a concentrated red berry flavour.
