Notes | |||
"Château du Mourre du Tendre farms 10 hectares of old-vine Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault in Côtes-du-Rhône on gravelly clay soils. While most estates opt for an easy-going style at the entry-level, Paul Verité, the young vigneron at Mourre du Tendre treats this wine the same way he does his Châteauneuf-du-Pape: whole cluster and native yeast fermentations that begin semi-carbonically and extensive aging in tank before release." —importer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2016 Côtes du Rhône Paul (60/40 Grenache and other permitted varieties) is more mid-weight and charming, yet still has old-school notes of saddle leather, garrigue, ground pepper, and assorted red and black fruits. This puppy is reminiscent of a Provençal street market, has tons of character, and is ideal for drinking over the coming 2-4 years." —Jeb Dunnuck |
