Les Garde Corps

Rasteau Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre

The Crous St Martin Les Garde Corps, hailing from the esteemed Rasteau region, offers a compelling blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. This red wine is a testament to the rich terroir of the Southern Rhône, where the Mediterranean climate and stony soils contribute to its robust character. On the palate, you'll discover a harmonious fusion of dark fruit intensity, with notes of blackcurrant and plum, enhanced by subtle layers of spice and herbs. The body is full and luscious, offering a captivating experience that coats the mouth while balanced acidity keeps it lively and fresh. The tannins are firm yet integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit. This is an exuberant wine that promises to elevate your dining experience, whether paired with hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own. The craftsmanship evident in Crous St Martin Les Garde Corps speaks to the winemakers' dedication to producing a wine that truly reflects the distinctive qualities of the Rasteau appellation.

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.
