2025 Jean Didier Grande Reserve GCM Rouget

A fruity, soft and easy going Southern French red. Blended specially by us to show the warmth and generous ripe red fruits flavours from a blend of Grenache, Carignan and Merlot, it offers great value for money and works well with a wide variety of dishes.

Vinification: The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, get destemmed and thereafter are divided into two sections. One passes the modern process of flash-detente and hot skin contact maceration. After that, the juice goes through cool temperature fermentation. This procedure is carried out in order to extract and enhance the varietals’ aromatic qualities. The other part of the grapes is traditionally fermented on the skin for about ten days adding structure to the wine. At the end of the winemaking process both the modern and the traditional section of each variety are blended to a youthful and easy drinking Cuvée.

Tasting Notes: On the nose there are aromas of plum jam, raspberry, spice and a touch of pepper, not dissimilar to a good Cotes-du-Rhône. The palate is soft and smooth with a ripe red fruits, and a touch of pepper on the finish.

Food match: Perfect with a pizza.
