2023 Font de Courtedune "Le Mourre" Vieilles Vignes

“Light, fresh raspberry aromas, with a touch of cherry. Fresh and precise. Only medium-bodied, this is very drinkable. A light mineral touch brings further freshness to the finish, which is surprisingly long for a Côtes-du-Rhône. Not overly fat or heavy. Grown around the house on sandy soils, 60-year-old vines on average. This is a steal - a delicious Côtes-du-Rhône.”

Courtedune is less than 2km from the legendary Ch. Rayas, the superstar of heady, classy, powerful, rose-petal and raspberry fruited southern Rhones. Courtedune vines are on the same Courthezon sandy soils and even the Cotes du Rhone exhibits some impressive characteristics reminiscent of Rayas. This wine is generously flavoured, fully fruited and silky soft, but not too soft! As Decanter magazine says above, it’s a steal!
