Domaine de L'Espigouette Plan de Dieu Côtes du Rhône Villages 2020
'Plan de Dieu' is an understated premium Côtes du Rhône appellation, created in 2005. Meaning, God's Plain, the wines are from low yield vines, creating a deep coloured and concentrated wine with aromas of the local Garrigue scrubland. The average age of the vines for this Plan de Dieu is over 45 years of age, and ageing takes place in concrete vats for 12-18 months to produce a powerful wine, with layers of black fruit and sweet spice. The very present tannins of great finesse are characteristic of this vintage. The aromas are those of the nose and confirm the gourmet impression. An incredibly pleasant wine that will wait 3 to 4 years in the cellar before being served with Osso-Bucco or pigeon.

Taste
Winemakers tasting notes: Beautiful deep red colour with purple reflections. The nose is very open, expressive. On the black fruits on the first nose and sweet spices (nutmeg, cinnamon). The second nose is even sweeter with hints of blackberry jelly which give a lot of indulgence and invite to the palate. A touch of caramel too, slightly vanilla. The attack on the palate is supple, on the roundness. The very present tannins of great finesse are characteristic of this vintage. The aromas are those of the nose and confirm the gourmet impression. A pleasant wine that will wait 2 to 3 years in the cellar before being served with Osso-Bucco or pigeon.
