89-91/100 - PARKER
"The 2017 Cotes du Rhone Villages Bio is a silky, seductive blend of 50% Grenache, 20% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, and 10% Cinsault. Medium to full-bodied, it's plump and soft, yet balanced, without excessive weight or tannins. Cracked pepper, ripe cherry and black licorice notes all come together seamlessly on the palate and linger on the long finish"

Selection of high altitude vineyards on terroirs in the Southern Rhone Valley composed of pebbles and marl soils of the high hills.
