From one of the most beatiful villages in France (literally classified as "les plus beaux villages de France"). The Southern Rhône is home to many famous appellations with a great variety of soils and microclimates, though in general sees ideal growing conditions that are warm and dry, with the Mistral wind proving a defining feature.
This fragrant wine has aromas of mulberry and red berries. The palate is full of black fruits backed by a hint of oak which distinguishes this elegant fruity southern Rhone from the medieval hill top town of Seguret. It is elegantly blended from old vine Syrah softened by the addition of Grenache to give well defined blackberry fruit on the palate and a long spicy finish.
A good accompaniment to pates, grilled or roast meats, sausages, chilli and mild cheeses.
