Brotte 2012 Chateau de Bord La Croix de Frégère Laudun Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)

Country: France / Chateau de Bord La Croix de Frégère Laudun
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Brotte / Côtes du Rhône Villages

A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah from vineyards near Laudun, this is a typical blend that isn’t typical in flavor. Crisp, dusty notes of cinnamon, red peppercorn and pomegranate predominate, making this medium-bodied wine interesting, if not incredibly hedonistic.
