The 100% Grenache 2017 Cotes du Rhone Les Garrigues was aged mostly in foudre, with 20% put into demi-muids. Black cherries and licorice mark the nose, while the full-bodied palate is supremely supple, verging on creamy in texture. Hints of earth and dried spices chime in on the long, silky finish. It should drink well for at least another 3-4 years.
