Rouge

2013 Rasteau 80% Grenache / 17% Syrah / 3% Mourvedre

Domaine de Beaurenard Rouge from the 2013 vintage is a splendid expression of the Rasteau region, showcasing a captivating blend primarily composed of Grenache, with generous touches of Syrah and Mourvèdre. This wine presents a deep red hue, inviting you to explore its aromatic profile. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied character, harmoniously balancing lively acidity that adds freshness and vibrancy. The tannins are notable yet supple, providing structure without overshadowing the prominent fruit intensity. Expect delightful notes of dark berries and plum, intertwined with subtle hints of spice. The wine finishes dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from hearty stews to barbecued fare.

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.
