Côtes du Rhône Cuvée Est-Ouest
Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah have grown together in André Brunel’s family vineyards for more than five generations.
Tasting Notes
The wine offers exuberant red fruit, mainly strawberry, on the nose and palate, with the Grenache contributing round tannins. The Syrah and Cinsault bring structure and elegance. The finish is soft and lingering.
Vineyards
The grapes that make up this wine come from vines in two of the best vineyards in the region, located to the east and west of the Rhône. They have complementary qualities, allowing the Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah to reveal their best characteristics, thanks to the small yields and clay/limestone soil of the Saint Genies de Comolas in the Gard, and the power and hardiness of the grapes from the round pebbles and clay subsoil of the Travaillan, in the Vaucluse.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested in September and fully destemmed to enhance the fruitiness of the wine. Fermentation lasts three to four weeks, after which time the wine is aged in concrete tanks for a period of nine to twelve months. The wine is released one month after bottling.
