Jean-Michel Cazes Reserve Aoc Côtes Du Rhône Tinto

Description

This Rhône reserve from Jean-Michel Cazes is a bold statement. The careful aging in oak barrels – 20% to be precise – lends a remarkably smooth texture, which plays beautifully against the robust character of the Syrah and Grenache. The producer’s choice to use concrete vats, rather than oak, clearly aims to keep the fruit intensely fresh and expressive. A truly vibrant wine, perfect alongside cured meats or, if you’re feeling fancy, a lovely orange duck.
