Cotes du Rhone

Located in the Southeastern section of France, just below the Maconnais, the Rhone’s sunny, hot growing season is reflected in its wines which are characteristically full, robust, earthy and high in alcohol. The prolific Grenache is the dominate grape however many other varieties are used in the blended wines, i.e. Chateauneuf du Pape, such as Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault.

Chateauneuf du Pape – Up to 13 different grape varieties including Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault make up this easy drinking wine. Fermented in oak, it is full-bodied with tremendous complexity and features a deep ruby color, peppery aromas and flavors of red fruits.

Cotes du Rhone – Produced in a region where the Mediterranean climate allows a variety of grapes to flourish, this wine is a blend of 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 10% Carignan. The resulting wine is rich and full of red fruits and a hint of spice.

Muscat Beaumes de Venise – Beaumes de Venise is located in the Southeast of France and is best known for its golden dessert wine made from 100% Muscat grapes. Rich and redolent of apricots and peaches with perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, it is best served when chilled.
