Domaine Brusset Cotes du Rhone
Wine Description
The Côtes du Rhône has superb purity and freshness in its dark cherry, graphite, leather and dried spice-driven bouquet. Tasting like a mini-Gigondas, with medium-bodied richness and depth, and a focused, masculine feel on the palate, drink it over the coming 3-5 years.
