Le Douleur Exquise 2014 Grenache Cotes Catalanes France

2014 Côtes Catalanes Grenache

Le Douleur Exquise 2014 Grenache from Côtes Catalanes, France, is a captivating red wine with a full body that envelopes the palate in a velvety richness. Its medium acidity adds a delightful liveliness to the overall experience, enhancing the fruit intensity to reveal a symphony of ripe flavors. The tannins, though notable, are soft and integrated, allowing the fruit to shine through while providing a subtle structure to the wine. The 2014 vintage showcases the elegance and depth of Grenache from this renowned region, making it a must-try for wine enthusiasts seeking complexity and finesse in a glass.

Tasting notes:


Juicy red fruits play off of a full body. The medium acidity means that it will stand up to rich and gamey foods very easily. When tasting this wine try pairing it with rich, fatty foods that can stand up to the higher amounts of alcohol.

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.
