Maison Bouachon - "Les Rabassieres" Cotes du Rhone

DESCRIPTION / TASTING NOTE

Maison Bouachon's Les Rabassieres Côtes du Rhône shimmers cherry red in the glass with purple reflections. The nose is enveloped by the aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants.

This cuvée from the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan grape varieties is spicy on the palate with the notes of cinnamon and vanilla. Gentle tannins give this wine its fullness and body.

ABOUT PRODUCER

The origin for the Maison Bouachon winery is in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. When you live in Châteauneuf-du-Pape from childhood and build wooden barrels, sooner or later you get the idea of wanting to fill these barrels with your own wines. It was precisely this thought that the Bouachon family put into practice in 1898 and founded the Maison Bouachon.

In the 1950s, a winery was acquired. Aging and the ideal maturation of the wines gained importance for Maison Bouachon. Intensive interest in the interaction of sites, soil and climate, as well as the pursuit of the highest qualities, determined the work at the Maison Bouachon winery over the years. The trustful and still existing intensive relationship with the winegrowers, which has now existed for many generations, has led to a solid cooperation, through which the richness of the grape varieties and the terroir can be used in the best way.
