Description

Once again, Franck has made a truly delicious Côtes du Rhône in 2023. The nose is fine and intense with focused, dark, blackcurrant and black cherry fruit. The wonder of this wine though always lies in its pure minerality which brings such refinement to the silky fruit and powdery tannins. A lovely fresh, almost tangerine, note cuts through on the concentrated, fine and utterly delicious finish. This really is not to be missed, if you are quick enough to secure a case.

About this wine

Vinsobres

Vinsobres, along with Beaumes de Venise, has cause for celebration, having been promoted to a stand-alone appellation in 2006 but now overtaking Cairanne, Rasteau and 12 or so other Côtes du Rhônes villages in the local hierarchy. This is primarily due to the relative altitude of the vines being recognised for lending complexity and structure to the wines.
