Famille Brechet Plateau Des Chenes 2013 (France: Rhone, Southern) (ID# 1582)

Name Famille Brechet Plateau Des Chenes 2013 (ID# 1582)
Varietal Lirac
Region France: Rhone, Southern
Notes "The 2013 Lirac Plateau des Chenes red is composed of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah (60- to 80-year-old vines) aged nine months in a combination of demi-muids and older barrels. Its deep ruby/plum color is followed by a sweet kiss of kirsch, black raspberries, lavender, pepper and flowers. Perfumed, elegant, medium-bodied and gorgeously fruity and lively, it can be enjoyed over the next several years." (Wine Advocate)

Additional Notes

"Lovely kirsch and raspberry pâte de fruit flavors glide along, carried by silky tannins and backed by an enticing pebbly hint on the finish. Drink now through 2016. 900 cases imported." (Wine Spectator)
