| Chateau/Producer: | Barton & Guestier | | Wine Name: | Cotes du Rhone | | Country: | France | | State: | Gironde | | AOC: | Cotes-du-Rhone Controlee | | Wine Score: | 92 | | Notes: | My first foray with the CdR. Lovely ruby-red colour with black cherry nose; nice round mouthfeel; expressiveness was clear from the start, but after excessive breathing (4 hours) became a tad muddled. Complex and fun nonetheless. This was a STEAL from my neighborhood market. | | Tasting Date: | 2004-05-21 | | Varietal: | Melange of Grenache, Sirah | | Additional Notes: | Opened this bottle on a Friday evening in May. Although this one is great from the bottle without breathing, an additional 10 minutes provided a delightful complexity.
Clare's Food Pairing Suggestions:
Terrific paired with grilled T-bone, lamb. Doesn't do very well with Edam, however a Chevre with fresh herbs would suit more appropriately. | | Price US$: | 7.99 | | Source: | Bet-R Store, Baton Rouge, LA |
