2023 Domaine Font de Courtedune Cotes du Rhone Cuvee Le Mourre Vieilles Vignes is a classic Southern Rhone red that showcases the elegance and character of old-vine Grenache from the sandy soils around Courthezon. Produced by the Charrier family, the wine reflects a traditional Rhone blend and a minimalist winemaking philosophy focused on purity of fruit and terroir.
On the nose, this wine reveals aromas of raspberry, red berries, dried herbs and sweet spice, typical of old-vine Grenache grown in warm Rhône Valley vineyards. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a velvety core of ripe red fruit, savoury herbs and subtle spice, supported by firm yet balanced tannins. A touch of black olive and dark chocolate notes adds complexity, leading to a long, dry finish.
Made from old vines averaging around 40 years of age, the wine gains extra depth and structure, with whole-bunch fermentation contributing texture and aromatic complexity.
