A blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre drawn from Lirac, Rasteau, Vacqueyras, Beaumes de Venise and Roaix, aged in combination of second and third use barrels, followed by additional time in foudres, the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Guy Louis exhibits floral, spicy aromas, hints of garrigue and baking spices, plus plenty of cherry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and fine, with a lingering, gently oaky finish.
