Domaine Les Grands Bois Cuvée Philippine Sainte-Cécile Côtes du Rhône-Villages 2021

This blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre suggests an almost ‘baby Châteauneuf-du-Pape’ character. It’s full and powerful, with ripe dark fruit, dried herbs, and black pepper spice. This will evolve through 2028.[Concours Général Paris did not include a tasting note.] Score – Gold. (Concours Général Paris, 2022)
