Domaine Jean-David, Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages (Rhône Valley, France) 2011

Mar 12, 2013

By Michael Apstein

Domaine Jean-David is a small 40-acre domaine located in Seguret, one of the 18 villages that make more distinctive wine and therefore are allowed to append their name to the Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages appellation.  Made from the usual Mediterranean blend of Grenache (71%) and Carignan (14%) with Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah rounding out the blend, it is both floral and mineraly with suave tannins.  It’s a great choice for current consumption with hearty winter fare.
