DESCRIPTION

Rasteau from Domaine de la Colline Bleue is a rich and expressive red wine that captures the sun-soaked character of the southern Rhône Valley. Made primarily from Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre, this cuvée combines ripe fruit, spice, and depth with a refined, balanced structure. Powerful yet elegant, it reflects the estate's commitment to crafting authentic wines that embody both the warmth and finesse of Rasteau's hillside terroirs.

EYE

Deep garnet-red with purple reflections, dense and brilliant, showing intensity and youth.

NOSE

Complex and aromatic, revealing notes of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and plum, mingled with hints of licorice, cocoa, and garrigue herbs. A touch of spice and mineral undertone enhances its depth.

MOUTH

Full-bodied and generous, with velvety tannins and a harmonious balance between fruit and freshness. Layers of dark fruit and spice unfold on the palate, supported by a fine structure and long, persistent finish marked by elegance and warmth.

PAIRING

Perfect with roasted or grilled red meats, lamb shank, duck confit, or hearty stews. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, mushroom dishes, or Mediterranean cuisine — ideal for autumn and winter meals shared among friends.

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.
