'Les Royes' Saint-Joseph, Domaine Courbis, Rhône Valley, France

Duncan Says: A big Rhône classic that's worth the spend!

Tasting Notes: Opaque and opulent, with intense cassis and rich chocolate undertones. Silky and concentrated, with fine tannins and harmonious balance.

Grape: Syrah

Best Enjoyed: One to savour with roast lamb or a wild mushroom risotto.

Good to Know: Domaine Courbis dates from the 16th Century and has been handed down from father to son since the start of the 20th Century.  The vines are planted on steep granite hillsides and their polished wines are wonderful examples of modern vinification blended with traditional viticulture and top-quality terroir.
