Le Petit Renard Rouge 2021The Coulon family, owners of Domaine de Beaurenard in Chteauneuf du Pape, interprets vintage after vintage the beauty of Mediterranean terroirs in the Southern Rhne Valley.

Country Region: Cotes du Rhone, France Grape Variety: Grenache noir 60%, Syrah 35%, Viognier 5% Bottle Size: 750ml

The Alter Ego de Palmer 2014 is a blend of 52% Merlot

where our famous wind “Mistral” helped keep very healthy environments in the vineyard during that important growing season

Here too there is a textured and seductive mouth feel to the medium weight plus flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration before concluding in an ever-so-mildly rustic finish that delivers impressive persistence and a bit more overall depth

this had not yet completely its malo and was in no state to be evaluated

The nose is immediately appealing

Tasting this as the first wine of the day

there is nothing wrong with that

situated in the northern sector of the appellation

black cherry and earth

Terroirs: La Mignotte 1
