Rhône Valley, France — 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Carignan
Aromas of ripe black cherry, raspberry, and wild plum mingle with notes of lavender, thyme, and cracked pepper. The palate is round and generous with silky tannins, layers of juicy red fruit, and a subtle savoury undertone of dried herbs and spice. Great with roast turkey with herb stuffing, glazed ham, mushroom gravy, or root vegetable gratin. Also lovely with lentil stew, cassoulet, or aged hard cheeses.
Château de Montfrin sits at the meeting point of the Rhône and Gard rivers, where vineyards thrive under organic cultivation. Owned by Jean-René de Fleurieu, a visionary winemaker and advocate for sustainable farming, the estate produces expressive wines that highlight the Mediterranean’s warmth and charm.
