About This Wine

La Douleur Exquise

Grenache

We are so excited to be welcoming Le Douleur Exquise back to the club. This stunning Grenache is a fantastic wine to come back with. It’s complex and multilayered with flavors that keep unfolding with each new sip. We love the ripe fruit a lot, but even better are the hints of minerality, earthy herbs, and black olives. It’s truly a wine that tastes like the sun-drenched parts of the south of France. This wine is very food-friendly and will pair well with just about anything. We suggest wild game or a freshly seared duck breast. Judges love it too! It took home 91 Points and a Gold medal from the International Eastern Wine Competition!

Wine Region

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.

  • A figure representing the Mineral tasting note. Mineral
  • A figure representing the Forest Floor tasting note. Forest Floor

This is an opulent wine, with ripe notes of fruit and underlying hints of minerals, earth, Mediterranean herbs, and black olive. These notes are typical of well-made Mediterranean wines, and the blend of earth and herbs is known as "garrigue."
