2024 Grand Nicolet Rasteau Terres de Bertrand
Varietal: grenache
Region: rhône valley
SKU: 364314
Named 'the oldest winery in Rasteau', Domaine Grand Nicolet has naturally been part of the Southern Rhône's Rasteau appellation for generations.
Terres de Bertrand is a blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Carignan and 20% Syrah, sourced from vines averaging 45 to 50 years old. The vineyards grow on a patchwork of limestone, ochre, yellow clay and blue marl soils. Following fermentation, the wine spends eight months in concrete vats.
Blackberry, blackcurrant and wild berries meet cracked pepper, Mediterranean herbs and a hint of cured meat. Medium-bodied with ripe, well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity and a savoury, lingering finish. A natural match for grilled lamb, roast meats, mushroom dishes or hearty stews.
