Chateau du Roquefort 'Le Mûres' Côtes-de-Provence Rouge, 2020

This wine is made from 35-60 year old vines of Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, and Cinsault, grown on chalky clay soils. The vines face northwest at 390 meters above sea level, and thus in a cooler microclimate for Provence. The wine remains juicy and vibrant like its peers, with a slight boost of acidity for balance. In the glass, it is floral with bright red berry fruit, and smooth grainy tannins, perfect for pairing with easy weeknight burgers or pork fried rice, or for the weekend grill sesh with salmon skewers or lamb chops. The perfect wine for early spring or late summer.
