Gerard Charvin Cotes Du Rhone Le Poutet 2022 bordeaux-superieur-aoc balanced by a peppery whole-bunchProduced from a blend of 81% Grenache, 7% Mourvdre, 5% Carignan and 7% Syrah. Deep black dark red in colour with a dark red hue. Aromatics of black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry sail out of the glass followed by notions of herbs du Provence, subtle incense and peppered meat notes. Showing superb power and intensity, an explosion of rich black fruit saturates the palate with black cherry, black raspberry and liquorice leading the charge.
