Cotes du Rhone 'Clos Somi' Alain Graillot 2023

Alain Graillot's Côtes-du-Rhône 'Clos Somi' is a Mediterranean red with an intense and fragrant profile. The vines are planted on land that was once used for olive groves, now equally populated by Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache. In keeping with the winery's tradition, vinification takes place spontaneously and with whole bunches in cement, before ageing in large old barrels. The nose reveals pepper, olives and dark fruit, with intriguing balsamic notes on the finish. On the palate, it is fresh, dense and smooth, ideal with roast meats and regional cuisine such as lamb with herbs

When to open
To enjoy an artisanal wine at its best, we recommend you to let it 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before serving
When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
