60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault Feuille de Garance (Leaf of Garance) is a reference to the place that this bottling holds at the estate. It is their flagship and a nod to the leaf on the grape vine-- for without the leaf the plant cannot live. Deep, purple-red in color, with garnet glints, this wine displays crushed red fruit aromas and spicy overtones. It exhibits bright hints of garrigue red fruit and earth on the nose yet is smooth on the palate, with notes of tart cherry, raspberry and spice. The supple structure makes this Cotes du Rhone very versatile and food friendly.
