Pierre Dupond La Renjardiere Cotes Du Rhone 2019 750 ML

This Grenache-dominant blend (augmented by Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan) is elegant and nuanced. Full bodied but fresh, it highlights zippy blackberry and mulberry flavors edged by crushed peppercorns and graphite. This bright fruited, stately sip finishes on softly gripping tannins and is best enjoyed now through 2025.\n Producer Information\n The esteemed Dupond Family's roots and knowledge of the wine industry run deeply in Burgundy and the Rhône Valley, dating back five generations to the 1860s. In 1880 Joanny Dupond established the La Renjardière vineyard, which is situated in the area north of Chateauneuf du Pape. The 309 acre vineyard was originally a forest of oak trees that was called La Renjarde. Joanny cleared the area by hand and personally planted the vines, renaming the vineyard La Renjardière. Fifth generation and current proprietor, Hervé Dupond, oversees the family business. Each year Hervé selects the best possible plots to ensure his wines have the utmost quality. A traditional method of winemaking is practiced to ensure wines produced are reflective of the land.
