La Ferme du Mont Première Côte Côtes du Rhône 2022

This wine always overdelivers, prompting many to refer to it as a baby Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Made up of 60% Grenache with 30% Syrah and the remainder Mourvèdre, it’s big, rich and floral, with red and dark fruit alongside a complex mix of wild and savoury herbs, earth, garrigue and spice. There’s power here, but it’s beautifully contained and balanced. A glorious Côtes du Rhône.
