Côtes Du Rhône “Petit Ours” rouge AOP 2021

Weinbeschreibung für Côtes Du Rhône “Petit Ours” rouge AOP 2021 von Du Coulet

Colour & appearance

Bright violet-red colour of impressive density, which lightens elegantly towards the edge of the glass and underlines the youthful strength of this Syrah.

Nose

An aromatic firework that immediately inspires: Blackcurrants and mature Cherries dominate, complemented by the wild note of the Sloe. Behind it, the typical herbs of Provence unfold - Thyme and Rosemary - and a seductive peppery flavour. The complex minerality adds depth and elegance to the bouquet.

Palate

The true class of this Syrah is evident here: finesse meets substance. The lively tannin structure is perfectly balanced, never intrusive, while a refreshing acidity provides tension. On the palate, a wonderful fullness of fruit unfolds, supported by mineral notes. The wine possesses that rare combination of sophistication and immediate drinking pleasure - a true all-rounder that reveals all its elegance when served slightly chilled.

Food pairing suggestions

A versatile accompaniment to French-inspired cuisine: Excellent with Stuffed aubergines with feta cheese, grilled St. Pierre on paprika confit or Duck breast with a lavender and honey crust. The lively structure harmonises perfectly with Mediterranean flavours.
