Rhône Valley - 3 / 4

Alchimie rouge is a lovely Chateauneuf du Pape produced by the Domaine des 3 Celliers. This organic wine reveals itself to be elegant and refined, characterized by its ruby red color and notes of fresh fruit. Its greedy tannic structure allows it to be consumed in its youth, but in no way detracts from its ageing potential. We appreciate its freshness and its very well-integrated 14.50%.

The Austral cuvée from Ferme Saint-Martin is a blanc de macération, otherwise known as an orange wine. This gourmet organic wine develops complex notes of spices, curry, candied apricot and peach. A beautifully structured white wine that will pair superbly with creamy poultry or cheeses, for example.
