Information

Côtes du Rhône Rouge is a red wine from the Côtes du Rhône region in the Rhône Valley, France. It has a deep ruby color and a robust flavor profile. The bouquet includes notes of red and dark berries, such as cherry and blackberry, with hints of spice and herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and flavors of ripe fruit, black pepper, and a touch of earthiness. This wine pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, sausages, and hearty stews.

Fun facts

The stony soils of the Southern Rhône, known as galets roulés, retain heat from the sun during the day and release it at night, helping grapes ripen fully. This contributes to the bold flavors and balanced acidity characteristic of Côtes du Rhône Rouge.
