Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend
Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
2018 -Vintage agree with everything @Bob McDonald said about this wine it rarely disappoints for the price point and ages reasonably well - Syrah is evident but Mourvèdre is evident black fruit spice and stoneyness

The first of 12 and an annual purchase for me. Must be the best value red wine on the planet - $24 AUD per bottle. 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. I don’t know what the annual production would be but it would have to be well over a million bottles. I love Phillipe Guigals philosophy in that he says the CDR is the most important wine they produce because it is the wine most people will first be introduced to the Estate. Fresh savoury red fruits with raspberry to the fore. Quaffable and smashable.

Jun 26th, 2022From the excellent 2016 Rhone vintage. Fuller than you usually expect from a Guigal CdR. Blackberry from the Syrah and raspberry from the Grenache with savoury overtones. So consistent for the 100’s of thousands of bottles that they make. A regular purchase annually for me.

E Guigal produces fine Rhône wines. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark berry fruit and spice. On the palate juicy jammy flavors of black plum and blackberry fruit, vanilla, earthy pepper and black olive notes, vivid acidity, good balance. Firm tannins, long finish ending with spicy fruit character. Drink now and over next 5 years. Good value.

Dark and inviting, this is another great showing for Guigal’s multi-million bottle basic Côtes du Rhône. The generous nose comes across very southern Rhône-like, with aromas of blackberry, liquorice, lavender and fresh tar, while the palate adds flavours of plum and smoked bacon, with a spicy finish. This really is remarkably good stuff for the money.
