Caves Saint Pierre Vieilles Vignes Côtes du Rhône 50Ans 2022
94 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
"A beautiful fragrant Cotes du Rhone is the first thing that struck us on tasting this. Lots of floral and red fruit framed in the classic dried herb that is ubiquitous in the Southern Rhone. In the mouth, the wine is fresh & elegant with an abundance of red fruits framed by fresh crunchy acidity. Beautiful balance makes this Cote du Rhone lovely current drinking."

This wine is crafted from a select plot of 50 year old Grenache vines. Made from classic Rhône varietals (primarily Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre), it offers a harmonious balance of fruit, spice, and structure.
Located in Châteauneuf du Pape since 1898, Caves Saint-Pierre is a winery whose reputation has been built on its knowledge of the vineyards along with expertise in the blending and ageing of wines for over one hundred years. This Cotes du Rhone is not far from Châteauneuf du Pape, with similar stony vineyards, produces sumptuous, rich, velvety reds made with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, a classic GSM blend, but without the big price tag you pay over the road in Châteauneuf du Pape
