Rasteau AOC 2019 - M. Chapoutier

The Rasteau AOC by M. Chapoutier shines deep purple in the glass, on the nose a bouquet of intense fragrances of dark berries, cassis and herbs. An abundance of fruit aromas unfold on the palate of this wonderful southern French red wine, cherries, plums and blueberries, with nuances of Mediterranean carrique, generous and well-structured. In the finale, red fruits dominate in harmonious interaction with slightly rustic tannins.
