The 2017 Ogier Artesis Cotes du Rhone Rouge is an intense ruby color. The nose is very expressive and opens itself on licorice, Violette and crushed red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) followed by spicy notes of pepper and juniper. Discreet woody notes brings a beautiful complexity. The palate is dominated by the suavity of the Grenache that expresses on ripe fruit, figs and plums. The Syrah gives some vivacity and greediness to this great Côtes du Rhône showing silky tannins. Blend: 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre
This Red Blend accompanies perfectly with lamb chop.
