A Côtes du Rhône is a balanced wine that is fruity, fresh and easy to drink. If you’re seeking value and early drinking pleasure in wines you must discover this appellation.

Côtes du Rhône wines are for the most part meant to be enjoyed on release, which is a big part of their allure. The majority do not require aging, even if a few wines do improve with time in the cellar.

A good example is this Côtes du Rhône Villages Les Coteaux 2015. This wine reveals its class from the start: brambly fruit underpinned by subtle oaky nuances, lovely sweet spice, and warm star anise with a touch of cinnamon.  Available at Vinos.ca
