Côtes du Rhône Villages Cuvée Sabrine
Cuvée Sabrine is named in honor of the estate’s previous owner’s daughter. It is a blend of varieties that have grown together in André Brunel’s family vineyards for more than five generations.
Tasting Notes
This wine offers bursts of red fruits on the nose and palate. It matches elegance with strength, and the result is a complex wine that overdelivers for the price. Aromas of blackcurrant, and blueberry extend to harmonious tannins in a tasty combination of fruit and structure. The wine’s complexity and character are apparent, from first sip to last.
Vineyards
The grapes for this wine come from a single plot located north of Orange, in the vineyards of the Cotes du Rhone, where the soil is rich and has excellent drainage due to fine gravel found just below the surface. The region around the Cotes du Rhone Villages offers terroir that produce a fresh and aromatic Grenache. It is a great match for the Syrah and Mourvèdre grown in the same area.
