2004 Les Aphillanthes Cuvee 3 Cepages Cotes-du-Rhone Villages
- Share via
A brilliant Cotes-du-Rhone Villages from cult producer Les Aphillanthes. This beauty is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre with a full-blown, earthy character that shows lots of sweet fruit and wily tannin. It’s impossible to stop drinking this one. One sip and the taste of wild herbs, smoke and dark berries lays unmistakable claim to the southern Rhone.
Perfect for the beginning of barbecue season. Pull the cork for grilled chops and ribs or leg of lamb laced with garlic and herbs.
