Richelieu GCM - Languedoc
A fruity, soft and easy going Southern French red (Grenache, Carignan and Merlot) that is great value for money.
Mastering the nuances of Southern French varietals and combining traditional and modern winemaking techniques, Xavier Roger wines are a superb example of the quality that are now being produced in the South of France. Using the best parcels in the area, the quality of the range is truly outstanding.
On the nose there are aromas of plum jam, raspberry, spice and a touch of pepper, not dissimilar to a good Cotes-du-Rhone. The palate is soft and smooth with a ripe red fruit, and a touch of pepper on the finish. A youthful and easy drinking Cuvée.
