Les Courtilles Cotes du Rhone 2018

Cheap Cotes du Rhone can be a bit hit and miss but no need to worry here with this wine a dead-set home run. It is a modern style where the generosity and user-friendly personality of grenache is on full show. There are layers of fleshy dark cherry aromas that are lifted by touches of white pepper, leather and baked earth. This is followed by a juicy and mouth filling palate that also carries a savoury edge backed by sandy tannins. This is so smashable and the perfect wine to have a case on hand for your next barbecue.
