Domaine Grand Veneur Les Champauvins Côtes Du Rhône 2010, Ac, Rhône, France




This wine is a blend of mostly Grenache at 80% and Syrah with the remaining 20%, soil type is clay-gravel soil covered with rolled stones, wine is lightly filtered and alcohol comes in at 14.5%.

Pouring a deep purple in color, this Rhône blend opened up with aromas of blueberry-plummy fruit, new leather, vanilla, licorice, dried herbs and spicy notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, dry, delicious forward fruit and spicy flavours, fresh acidity and well integrated tannins. Loads of energy and length on the finish with blueberry-plum puree fruit and spicy notes lingering. Les Champauvins 2010 is showing well right now, an easy drinking wine, made in a crowd pleasing style and at this price, a great value. Strongly recommended, score 90 points.

Purchased February 2, 2013 LCBO Vintages New Release (76331) at $18.95
