Slightly darker hued, the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Villages Terre D’Argile has more black raspberry and darker cherry notes as well as lots of spicy herbs, flowers, and garrigue-like nuances. Wonderfully textured, medium to full-bodied, with a kiss of background oak, this rock star Côtes Du Rhône should be purchased by the case.

Eine Bewertung für den Jahrgang 2020 liegt noch nicht vor.
The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages Terre d'Argile is an equal-parts blend of Carignan. Grenache. Mourvèdre and Syrah. It's a full-bodied. silky-textured wine with bright acids that can rival many Châteauneuf-du-Papes. Dusty. earthy notes and dried spices accent cherry-berry fruit and then pick up classy hints of licorice on the lingering finish.

Some poached strawberries. raspberries. dark fruit. garrigue herbs and iodine-like savoriness. The super-pure acidity and tannins are intertwined around ripe. fleshy blackberries. Coal smoke through the minerally finish. Drink or hold.
