Domaine La Ligiere, Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge "Les Costebelles", Southern Rhone, France 2023 {biodynamic} 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah
RED RASPBERRY & CURRANT, TANGY PRUNE, VIOLETS Where Vacqueyras, Gigondas, and Beaumes come together in the northwestern reaches of the Mediterranean Vaucluse, Domaine La Ligière plies its craft, siphoning the sun and the perfumes of the Provençal countryside into breathtaking wines. This Cotes du Rhone is a full stop lighter than the estate’s profoundly rich Vacqueyras and Gigondas cuvées, but it shares with them a pretty aromatic mystique and spicy, violet-hued Grenache-ish-ness. Serving Suggestion:Grilled pork chop w/ lavender/balsamic glaze & garlic-laden smashed potatoes. Seitan gyro w/ lemony cucumber sauce, dill, & cayenne pepper.
