Red Blend, Rhone Valley

Domaine DELEUZE-ROCHETINClassified Duche d'Uzes in 2013, those parcels have made wine since the 6th century BC.La Sarrazine, Syrah on red clay, Mourvedre and Grenache on stone is a perfect example of the complexity in soils and aspects of this AOP. With both of these grapes, the roots of the vine are going deep in the soil to find nourishment and to benefit from exposure in all cardinal directions. This environment will provide complexity in the bottle.Aging in wood takes place to magnify and soften this wine with a very affirmed character. This vintage has a complex nose of cooked dark fruits, spice, thyme and dried herbs. Full texture with a final length that is carried by mint and smoke. Beautiful balance that is delicately powerful.Temperature of 18ºC opened two hours before serving or in carafe. Pair this wine with fine cuisine and good quality ingredients.Duck breast / prunes / celery root mousseline. Roast beef/ persillade. Daube Provençale. Toast with butter and truffle.
