90 points biodynamic Cotes du Rhone


This is a delicious Grenache/Shiraz blend from a biodynamic producer in the Côtes du Rhone. It offers excellent value for money.

The May 2016 edition of Decanter magazine published a review of Southern Rhone wines from the 2014 vintage.  The French called this vintage "digeste" or easy drinking. The Domaine Roche Audran  Côtes du Rhone 2014 was one of only 2 wines from the Côtes du Rhone to be included in the review. It was given 90 points.

"Broad, interesting, warmly fruited bouquet. Crunchy palate with tasty momentum- genuine and stylish. Drink 2016-2022. "
