Lavau Cotes du Rhone 2019

A generously framed, silky smooth expression of modern Cotes du Rhone. 

This is a lovely expression of medium to full-bodied, modern Cotes du Rhone - a supple and really juicy style with soft, fulsome mouthfeel and gentle tannins. Die hard CdR fans will instantly be enamoured with this wine and it's the perfect option for anyone looking to start their journey into French reds.  

The 2019 blend is Grenache dominant with Syrah filling out the mid palate and adding some structure on the finish. Perfect with roasted meats or cheese but also eminently drinkable on its own, this lovely wine has been a massive (and we mean MASSIVE(!) - Ed) hit with our early adopters. Buy more than you need.
