BEAURENARD "RASTEAU" 2017 AOC (750ml)

Variety:  Grenache/Syrah

Tasting notes:

Dense and deep color. In the nose, a beautiful freshness with accents of scrubland and wild blueberries. Duo of fruits and spices with notes of wild raspberries, rosemary and thyme. Its
structure, balance and minerality promise a bright future.

Both the 2017s showed brilliantly. The 2017 Rasteau offers a raspberry and blackberry core of fruit as well as complex notes of sappy garrigue, mint, and even a hint of basil. Based on 80% Grenache, 17% Syrah, and 3% Mourvèdre, brought up in foudre, drink this medium to full-bodied, seamless Rasteau any time over the coming 5-7 years.

Glossy cassis and mulberry flavors are ripe and concentrated in this brawny blend of Grenache (80%), Syrah (17%) and Mourvèdre (3%). Soft, integrated tannins accentuate its hedonistic, immediately appealing style. At peak now but should hold through 2027.
