2021 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge 1.5l

The classic from Guigal, the Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge: a dense, intense red color in the glass, ripe, juicy cherry notes on the nose, underpinned by a fine spiciness; on the palate, as usual, impressive density, beautiful fruit fullness, juice, with the fruit aromas so typical of this wine, velvety tannins (18 months of ageing in large wooden barrels), a fruity, long finish.

Goes well with Mediterranean cuisine, e.g. oven-baked lamb carré with rosemary and honey jus and white garlic emulsion, roast or braised beef. Once again an excellent Côtes du Rhône with a price/enjoyment ratio that is hard to beat!

Recommendation: Serve this wine at 12-13 degrees Celsius as an aperitif, with foie gras or with light fish dishes. We recommend drinking this wine until 2026.
