Here is an absolute no-brainer for those who love Grenache from the Southern Rhone. Anne Pichon's Old Vine Grenache is a wine that gives many Chateauneufs a serious run for their money.
Rich, ripe, spicy, and hedonistic, this easy-to-like red is made even more likable by its soft and supple tannic structure.....and its price. Translated, this stuff is big and bold yet soft and opulent, and it comes to you at less than $30. My advice -- GET SOME!
2022 Anne Pichon Grenache Vieilles Vignes -- Here's why you should buy it:
- It's a Grenache-lover's dream wine! Rich, ripe, opulent, and pleasure-bent, it honestly reminds me of Clos St. Jean's famed Chateauneuf. I just call it like I taste it...
- Husband and wife Anne and Marc Pichon farm some old, south-facing, certified organic vineyards high up on Mont Ventoux. The higher elevation combined with the warmer, sun-trapping exposure yields a wine that is both ripe and elegant.
- It's got plenty of the classic French "stuff" that Francophiles love, but it's also got plenty of the ripeness and generosity that will also thrill New World folks too.
- It's deeply colored, and the nose is packed with ripe blueberry, plum, white pepper, and lavender aromas. Even better on the palate, this stuff is sumptuous and full bodied yet fine grained and plush. Wonderful flavors of warm, sweet berries, exotic spices, and garrigue are all offered up on a smooth and plump palate.
