A delicious wine with an expansive nose of roasted currants, warm meat and fresh coffee beans with a good slew of spice and mineral. Develops in the glass to reveal fruits macerated in port, the mouth is enhanced and filled with flavours of plums and tobacco, the tannins are round and the whole experience is completed by a waft of secondary gamey aromas.

Maison Bouachon LES RABASSIERES Cotes du Rhone Blanc
Description: The Bouachon family have maintained their stewardship of some of the finest wines in the Rhone since 1898. The vines from which this vintage is produced have been rigorously selected on the right bank of the Rhône, as high up as Gard, a soil on which the finest white wines of the Côtes du Rhône are produced. On these clay/limestone and red-clay, stony terraces, these grape varieties are found in abundance. The ''Rabassières'' take their name from Rabasse that means ''truffle'' in Provencal. Predominantly grenache blanc . The viognier can be clearly detected by the palate and contributes to the aromatic complexity of the wine. Vinification is traditional. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures for the optimum extraction of the primary aromas of the fruits. The cuvee is bottled after blending. Platinum gold robe with attractive green shades. First nose very mineral, with aromas of citrus, white flowers , and quince paste. On the palate, the wine reveals a fine balance between fullness and a slight acidity, confirming flavours of quince paste and crystallised fruits. The finish is very long with aromas of pear and apricot. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £59.85
