2009 Côtes du Rhône Rouge, Domaine de Fontbonau

Cotes du Rhone Rouge, Domaine de Fontbonau
Farmed from vines grown at an altitude of 350 metres, this blend is dominated by Grenache but also includes Syrah and even Cabernet Sauvignon, in deference perhaps to its illustrious connections. The 2009 is very impressive with a generous and rounded fruit character, fine ripe tannins and a rewarding lick of black pepper on the finish.Domaine de Fontbonau

Cotes du Rhone Rouge, Domaine de Fontbonau
Weighing in at 15 per cent alcohol, this mighty red will not appeal to all. Yet savoured with the right food - big, juicy T-bone steaks and the like - this chewy red is easily tarned. Made predominantly from old vine grenache, but with syrah and even cabernet sauvignon in the blend, 2009 was a good southern rhône vintage. This briary.inky.herb and truffle-laden red is not unlike a top estate's gigondas.
