Red and black fruits intermixed with peppery garrigue and sappy flowers emerge from the 2024 Côtes Du Rhône Saint-Esprit, a well-made Côtes du Rhône that has good purity and offers plenty of charm. It's medium-bodied on the palate, has a focused mouthfeel, firmer tannins, and a good finish. Drink this charming effort over the coming 4-6 years. Drink 2026-2032.
