This intense ruby red award-winning wine is from the village of Valréas in the Drôme department and once belonged to a general of Napoleon Bonaparte’s army, hence the label. Valréas is one of only 20 villages allowed to mention its name on the label due to the exceptional terroir. An equal blend of Grenache and Syrah give perfect balance between roundness, spice and freshness. Intense ruby red with purple glints, the nose is powerful and dominant red and black berries such as blackcurrants. The wine exhibits Mediterranean spices such as thyme and rosemary as well as liquorice notes. Soft and smooth tannins.

Origin

PROVENCE-ALPES-CÔTE D’AZUR, FRANCE

Cellier des Princes

The original cooperative winery of Cellier des Princes is formed of some 3,200 hectares of vineyards in southeastern France, established in 1925 by a unique group of specialized winegrowers and producers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, AOC Côtes-du-Rhône & Côtes-du-Rhône Villages and IGP Vaucluse. The three dominant grape varieties are Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre with Grenache remaining the main grape at 90 – 95% of their blends for its roundness, ampleness and elegance with tannins that mellow with age to reveal delicious fruit flavours such as strawberry and notes of thyme and rosemary.
