Piaugier's Cotes du Rhone is a wine that everyone seems to love. Easy to drink but not at all simple, it is a wine that has brought us all a lot of comfort over the past several years. It's honest, it comes from a hard-working, family-run estate, and it is a truly artisan, handcrafted bottle of wine.
For Grenache lovers like myself, you won't find a better Southern Rhone value than this. Based in Sablet, just north of Gigondas, fourth generation grower Jean-Marc Autran and his daughter Maude have done a lot to propel this estate to new heights. They gained organic certification several years back, they harvest by hand, ferment with native yeasts, and work with old vines.
2021 Le Grange de Piaugier Cotes du Rhone Rouge -- Here's why you should buy it:
- A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, this medium-bodied, smooth, and spicy red has got some serious French soul.
- For seasoned wine lovers, good Cotes du Rhone is a necessity of life. Affordable, juicy, spicy, and smooth, Piaugier's version offers a ton of quality-to-price ratio.
- It comes from a 4th generation family estate that takes great pride in their work, and it sells for less than a lot of large production, industrially-produced, commercial wines.
- The perfect house red and "cellar protector," it offers up a classic Provencal nose of dark cherry, raspberry, pepper and herb that leads into a fresh, medium-bodied, and silky palate.
