Terre de Galets

Les Garrigues
,
Paligot
and
Beauchières
Vineyards located in the large plain of the southern Côtes du Rhone, with soil of shingle and red clay. The area borders on Vacqueras and Gigondas in the south, and Cairanne and Rasteau in the north. The vines are between 10-40 years old.
GRAPE VARIETIES
Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, Mouvèdre

TASTING NOTE
Deep coloured, with a violet rim, the 2007
