Country: France, Rhone ValleyGrapes: GrenacheABV: 15%Style: Rich Full RedA traditional blend of Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%), Chateau de Gourdon Vase de Pierre Cotes du Rhone is unusual in being so elegant and refined.

This is achieved by de-stemming the Syrah, giving both grapes long (30 day), cool fermentations and keeping oak ageing to a minimum. The result is an impressively intense, but beautifully rounded wine. Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Jul 2025) Taste Deep purple, the bouquet is dominat -
