L’Effet Papillon Côtes du Rhône BIO 2020

Description

This fully organic Côtes du Rhône is taken from a single vineyard just south of Aubenas, in a crook of the Ardèche river characterised by red pebble soils and the influence of the Mistral winds that cool the valley.

A blend of Grenache and Syrah fermented and matured without the use of oak, this is about purity of fruit and expression of the unique terroir here. Aromatic and fruity, with notes of cherry, strawberry and raspberry, with flickers of rose petals and cola. The palate is fresh and rounded with an easy drinking style, bright berry fruits, mild acidity and the softest, most mannerly, of tannins.

Beautiful on its own or try with duck pancakes and hoisin sauce.
