Domaine de la Cote de l'Ange Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2021

Vin Chicago: 90 Points

(8/2023) From 2.5 hectares of 35-year-old vines in sandy soils, brothers Jules and Louis Gasparri craft a vivid, textbook Cotes-du-Rhone from 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Marselan fermented in concrete. This is a small-batch production from a quality Chateauneuf-du-Pape grower, and it provides amazing bang for the buck. Spiced plum, raspberry and garrigue front-load the spicy palate which lingers with pomegranate and loads of black pepper across a long, satisfying finale. Gear up the grill and grub out with this racy Rhone!
