Côtes-du-Rhône, Domaine Serre Besson 2023

Country: France

Region: Southern Rhône

Grape: Grenache

Style: Rounded, soft, juicy

ABV: 14.5%

Wine Notes: I first tried this on a miserable, rainy day in London and its juicy, ripe fruit sent me straight to the Mediterranean and specifically Rhone, where pure fruit is balanced with rustic richness. A smooth, warming wine with a real clarity of fruit. 

Farming Notes: Organic practices, intervention as needed. 

Producer Notes: Victor and his partner farm 4 hectares of vines in a beautiful vineyard carved into the hillside of Vinsobres, the Northernmost part of the Southern Rhône.
