From Rhone With Love
Today, we’re thrilled to revisit a place very close to our hearts: the Southern Rhône. This region has captivated us for over thirty years, and our passion for wandering its landscapes and exploring its offerings remains undiminished.
We’re excited to share with you a couple of our favourite Côtes du Rhône wines, which are hitting their peak: currently showcasing their full potential and are truly delicious and welcome additions to what remains of our summer. For September, we are offering these at a special case of six price.
First up, we have a delicious old vine CDR from Domaine Clos du Mont Olviet: which has been one of not only Chateauneuf’s, but the Southern Rhone’s, premier estates for many generations: run today by the fantastic, brother-sister triumvirate of Thierry, David and Celine Sabon. Next up, we have the delightful 2016 ‘Lou Cambou’ from successful Belgian businessman turned winemaker extraordinaire, Gerard Constant of Domaine Constant Duquesnoy. One of the finest producers in Vinsobres and Cairanne around today, Gerard’s wines are full bodied and complex, with superb concentration of fruit and a stylish minerality.
These gems from some of the most exciting domaines in the Southern Rhone today offer truly excellent value for money, with a delicious depth of fruit for hearty dishes on cooler days, but possessing lovely purity and freshness to enjoy in the sun, for some fine dining ‘Al Fresco’. When our wonderful ‘Summer’ sun decides to grace us with its presence.
