2018 Clos St-Antonin “Plan du Dieu” Côtes-du-Rhône Villages

SKU #1554506 91 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark Coming from vines around the estate, the 2018 Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan De Dieu (50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and 20% Syrah) has a spicy, Provençal, ready-to-go style as well as lovely notes of kirsch liqueur, wild strawberries, dried flowers, and peppery spices. Medium-bodied, seamless, and elegant on the palate, it’s another winner from this estate to enjoy over the coming 4-5 years. Inner quote mark (10/2020)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Less ripe and concentrated than the 2017, but silkier and more elegant, the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Villages Plan de Dieu is a similar blend, with approximately 50% Grenache and the remainder and a mix of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Raspberries and cherries appear on the nose, joined by hints of garrigue and black tea, while the full-bodied palate features tannins that are almost delicate and lacy in style, with hints of licorice and dark chocolate on the finish. (JC) Inner quote mark (9/2020)

Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark Seductive, with sandalwood, tea and gently mulled cherry and damson plum notes all carried by silky tannins through a perfumy finish. (JM, Web-2021) Inner quote mark

Rhone Blends

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Rhone

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or Rasteau. Wines labeled as Cote du Rhone or Cotes du Rhone Village (a cut above generic Cotes du Rhone) are frequently found here in the US because they often represent some of the best values on the market.
