Domaine Chaume-Arnaud Cotes du Rhone 2014

Made with 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Cinsault. On the nose the wine is full of sweet fruits, ripe juicy black cherries and deep red plums, set against a wonderful, warm spiciness of liquorice and tobacco. In the mouth, it’s dry, with excellent body that really delivers on the dark fruit.

In 1956, severe frost killed off almost all the olive trees in the region, and people turned to viticulture. Valerie Chaume-Arnaud always wanted to be a winegrower. Her mother tried to dissuade her, hoping her daughter would find a more ‘modern’ occupation, but the strong willed Valerie.followed her heart. After studying oenology and viticulture, she took over the 5 hectares of vines belonging to her parents in 1987.With her husband Philippe, they bit by bit extended the vineyards, which today cover 38 hectares.
