Côteaux du Tricastin is the northernmost wine-growing AOC in the southern area of the Rhône wine region of France. It is also one of the oldest - wine has been produced in the region since the antiquity. Frédéric Reverdy’s white is produced from Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Clairette Blanc. With floral notes on the nose, this wine displays very fresh aromas of white peach, apricot and a good minerality on the finish. Delicious on its own, it will be the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of salads, poultry, seafood and fish of all types. Drink now-2011.

 “The amazing 2007 Cotes du Rhone St.-Esprit (75% Syrah and 25% Grenache) reveals a northern Rhône orientation, but it is loaded with spice and black fruits,  and displays a beautiful opulent texture as well as a gorgeous finish with impressive purity. This great northern Rhône negociant, spearheaded by their brilliant oenologist and winemaker, Jacques Grange, has consistently made fabulous wines from the northern appellations, but only recently upgraded the quality of their southern Rhone selections. These are the finest southern Rhônes they have made, and their Cotes du Rhone St.-Esprit ranks alongside the offerings from Guigal and Chapoutier.”  Exceptional value!

From the heart of Provence, this juicy blend of Grenache and Syrah exudes red plum, mineral and berry along with a very fresh appeal of the Provence’s “maquis”. A wine with great grip, wonderful notes of anise and olive accent the crisp, spicy and well-structured finish. A fantastic value from a very consistent producer!
