DESCRIPTION

The Côtes du Rhône Rouge from Maison Barrelle is a classic expression of the Rhône Valley, crafted from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Grown on sun-drenched soils of pebbles and clay-limestone, the grapes develop full ripeness while preserving their natural freshness. The wine offers a perfect harmony of fruit, spice, and structure, capturing the authenticity of the region. Elegant and versatile, it is ideal for both casual gatherings and refined meals, ready to be enjoyed now but with the potential to evolve gracefully.

EYE

A deep ruby-red robe with garnet reflections, promising intensity and warmth.

NOSE

Expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and violets, enhanced by hints of pepper, licorice, and Mediterranean herbs.

MOUTH

Full-bodied and generous, with layers of dark fruit, subtle spice, and supple tannins. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a touch of garrigue and freshness.

PAIRING

A perfect match for grilled lamb, roast duck, or beef stew. It also pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes, charcuterie, and aged cheeses.

Maison Barrelle

Maison Barrelle, rooted in the heart of the Rhône Valley, is dedicated to showcasing the tradition and diversity of this historic region. Combining respect for terroir with a commitment to quality craftsmanship, the estate produces wines that reflect the richness and balance of Rhône blends, where Grenache and Syrah shine with depth and character.

Rhône

The Rhône Valley is one of France's great red-wine regions, famous for powerful Syrah in the north and generous Grenache-based blends in the south, from Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage to Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Geographic position: Southeastern France, along the Rhône river for about 200 km from Vienne, south of Lyon, to Avignon. The narrow, steep Northern Rhône contrasts with the wide, sunny Southern Rhône, which makes most of the region's wine.

Origin & history: Greek traders brought vines up the Rhône from Marseille, and the Romans planted the slopes around Vienne. In the 14th century the popes in Avignon built a summer castle at Châteauneuf-du-Pape and promoted local wines. Baron Le Roy's rules for Châteauneuf in the 1920s inspired the French AOC system.

Main appellations & varieties: North: Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Cornas, from Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. South: Côtes du Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Rasteau, Tavel and Ventoux, mainly Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

Food specialties: Lyon charcuterie, Bresse chicken, Picodon goat cheese, truffles from the Tricastin, lamb with herbs, olives and tapenade, and nougat from Montélimar.
