Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Côtes du Roussillon Grenache Blend

Vintage 2016. A French import from M. Chapoutier. Olive and toasty oak on the nose. Big mid-pallet explosion of smoke, pepper, and wood with a hint of black cherry. Tannins take hold around the gums and tip of the tongue rather than the cheeks. Could benefit from extended cellaring. Would definitely have this one with a meal rather than on its own.

C Pale; Slight lemon and apple with minerality; creamy mouth feel; weak finish

Drinkable and balanced, great with food esp cassoulet.

Went well with meats and cheeses, crowd favorite, juicy

Yum yum summer water delight
