Tasting: Reserve Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone


  • Name: Reserve Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone
  • Variety: Blend
  • Country: France
  • Region: Rhone Valley
  • Year: 2010
  • Price: $14.95/ 750mL, $38.95/ 3L

My Review: This wine has a nutty candied walnut and almond smell. It had a bright and spicy mid taste with a peppery finish.

Shop Review: As for their other values, the 2010 Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault) displays loads of ripe flavors. It is very concentrated for a Cotes du Rhone, and is actually an amazing wine. Classic garrigue, black cherry liqueur, lavender, licorice and spice box are all present in this full-bodied, intense, and rich Cotes du Rhone. This is asensational effort to drink over the next 4-5 years, although it might last even longer. 

I did not try this wine with food.
