ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Red fruit (cherry), mild tannins, medium body. It's generous and silky on the palate, with good concentration and a smooth finish with lots of tannins. Remi Pouizin's certified organic farm in Visan, as well as other chosen growers, produce this delicate and fruit-forward Côtes du Rhône. It adds Cinsault and Carignan to the typical Grenache and Syrah blend, and a mild extraction in the cellar yields vibrant, spice-tinged red fruit with soft tannins. Clovis is a subtle and fruity Côtes du Rhône expression. The extraction is quite delicate, resulting in silky tannins and a fresh expression of red fruits and spice.
