A perfumed, generous red. Star anise, pepper and florals over cherry liqueur, then red berries, blackcurrant and sweet spice on a long finish. Generous and round, with soft edges.
Made for the grill and the long lunch. Lamb cutlets with rosemary, beef ragout with gnocchi, steak with ceps, or just the barbecue.
It comes from Château de Gourdon in the Southern Rhône, near Bollène, where the first vines went in in 1870 and the Mistral wind keeps the fruit healthy. Tikveš bought the estate in 2018. This is its easy-going red.
Ruby with orange-peel reflections. Star anise, pepper, florals and cherry liqueur. Dry, with round tannins and a full body. Red berries, blackcurrant and sweet spice on a long finish.
Lamb cutlets with rosemary. Beef ragout with gnocchi. Steak with ceps. Barbecue.
