Le Pitchoun

2012 Costieres De Nimes Red Blend

Dauvergne Ranvier Le Pitchoun is a captivating red blend from the renowned Costières de Nîmes region, a charming area known for its warm Mediterranean climate and diverse terroirs. The 2012 vintage showcases a lively red hue that draws you in, while the nose offers a delightful medley of ripe dark fruits, complemented by hints of spice and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, this wine is wonderfully balanced, exhibiting a medium body that is both smooth and inviting, with lively acidity that adds freshness and vibrancy to each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, allowing the rich flavors to shine through, while the tannins are elegantly structured, providing a solid backbone without overwhelming the palate. With its food-friendly profile, this wine pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, making it an ideal choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions. Perfectly enjoyable now, Le Pitchoun has the potential to evolve further, rewarding those who choose to cellar it for a few more years.
