The Domaine de l'Abbé Dîne’s Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2022 is an extraordinary vintage shaped by a season of intense drought, concentrating the grapes much like the 2019 vintage. However, a timely rain in mid-August provided a welcome freshness and ripeness, balancing concentration with delightful flavor.
Grown on sandy soils that lend finesse and elegance, this Côtes du Rhône comes from 40-year-old vines. With a blend of 80% Grenache, 18% Syrah, and 2% Mourvèdre, the grapes are meticulously handpicked and sorted. This wine is both vibrant and flavorful, showcasing smooth, silky, and fruity notes.
Perfect for enjoying with charcuterie platters, grilled dishes, traditional stews, or cheese boards, it also complements daily meals with ease. With an aging potential of 5 to 7 years, this 2022 Côtes du Rhône Rouge promises a memorable tasting experience.
