L'Alezane

2006 Vacqueyras Grenache 60%, Syrah 30%, Mourvèdre 10%

Guyot L'Alezane from the renowned Vacqueyras region is a captivating red blend that embodies the essence of the Southern Rhône. Composed of sixty percent Grenache, thirty percent Syrah, and ten percent Mourvèdre, this vintage from 2006 reveals a deep ruby hue that entices the eye. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience, where vibrant fruit-forward flavors of dark cherry and ripe plum beautifully intertwine with subtle notes of spice and earthiness. The wine exhibits a well-balanced acidity that enlivens the senses, while its firm tannins provide structure and depth. With a dry finish, Guyot L'Alezane is both harmonious and expressive, making it a delightful pairing for grilled meats or rich stews.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
