The dark colour shows a good concentration. The nose is a bit closed when first opened but after airing, aromas of black fruit and spices appear. The mouth is silky, elegant and very flattering. The finish is long and shows that the wine has plenty of life in it.

Description

History has it that vines were planted here centuries ago. Two thousand years ago the Latin authors Martial, Pline lÕAncien, Columelle and Plutarque called the wine from C™te R™tie ÒVin ViennoisÓ. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the reputation of the wines from Ampuis just grew bigger. Before the revolution wines from C™te R™tie were sent to Royal tables around the world; England, Russia, Prussia and France. The vineyard reached its peak in 1890. Every inch of sunny hillside was planted with vines. At this time, the outbreaks of Phyloxera and other diseases didnÕt demotivate the winegrowers. Unfortunately World War One will ruin all their efforts. Over 150 men were sent to war and the vineyards were abandoned. It is only in the sixties that the vineyard was attended again.
