2013 Pierre Amadieu Côtes-du-Rhône 'Roulepierre' Rouge

Pierre Amadieu

France / Côtes du Rhône / Pierre Amadieu

Bunches of Grenache and Syrah grown on chalk and clay soils are strictly sorted to produce this cuvée.
Hand harvests and traditional winemaking processes give a wine with red and black fruits aromas (blackberry and plum). A sweet touch of liquorice plus spice add layers to the sumptuous palate. A mouth filling wine in a pure Rhône style.

Offering lots of peppery herbs, forest floors and assorted cherry and currant-like fruit, the 2013 Côtes du Rhône Roulepierre is medium-bodied, easy drinking and well made, with plenty of charm. A blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah, it’s a good mid-week drinker to enjoy over the coming handful of years.

About Pierre Amadieu

Pierre Amadieu is a family-owned domaine established in 1929 in the village of Gigondas. Wines are made, matured and bottled on the estate, which now covers 140 hectares. Pierre is in charge of winemaking and maturation, while his uncle Claude runs the vineyard. The vines are mostly planted on hillsides between 230m and 500m up, facing north-northwest and surrounded by 200 hectares of garrigue and holm oaks. The exposure gives good aeration and avoids excessive sun in full summer, with extended ripening lending the wines freshness, depth and complexity. The wines are vibrant modern Rhônes, very restaurant-friendly and eminently drinkable.
