These vineyards create exceptional sparkling wines using the traditional method, offering a symphony of delicate bubbles, elegant flavors, and vibrant acidity.
In the Rhône Valley, iconic vineyards like Chapoutier, E.

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (85-88)Good dark red. Aromas of cassis, licorice and coffee, lifted by a graphite note. Fragrant and silky, with strong blackcurrant, herb and coffee notes. Substantial, late-arriving tannins give grip to the finish, but I still feel that this wine will provide enjoyable drinking in the near term and will not be for extended aging. |
