Tasting: Domaine de Grange de Payan


  • Name: Domaine de Grange de Payan
  • Variety: Blended, Grenache
  • Region: Côtes du Rhône
  • Year: 2011
  • Country: France
  • Price: $8.95

My Review: I smelled a spice and another scent I could not place, possibly vegetal. I was surprised when a berry flavor came through on the mid taste. This wine was full bodied and the finish was a bit more earthy.

Shop Review: Intensely spicy and precise, with lively red berry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The Grenache, which makes up the majority of the wine, is deeper and more powerful, offering cherry and black raspberry qualities lifted by zesty minerality. 

I did not try this wine with food.
