Domaine des Girasols Rasteau "Fût" MMXV 2015

AOC Rasteau, Rhône, France

Blend: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre | 14% ABV

£21.00

We are delighted to present this French red wine from Rhône made with a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. Rasteau was always famous for its Port-like fortified wines but not for its dry reds, but over the years, it became clear that the quality of the reds were just too good and in 2010 it becomes its own appellation. This particular wine is a lovely example of Rasteau.

Meet the winemaker Francoise Joyet-Larum who is in charge of the activity of the estate. Her goal is to produce wines that express both power and harmony.

ln 1974, Paul and Marie-Elisabeth Joyet left Lyon to settle on a beautiful vineyard in Rasteau. Reading through an agricultural dictionary, dating from 1750, they came upon the name Girasols. This family-run estate is situated in an outstanding location facing the Dentelles de Montmirail
mountains and Mont Ventoux. At the foot of the medieval village of Rasteau, their vineyard, terraces, and hills extend around the cellar and the house. The wines of Girasols are fine, and express the power and the harmony of the terroir.

Domaine des Girasols covers an area of 16 hectares, located in the town of Rasteau, a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in south-eastern France. The Domaine enjoys one of the most beautiful settings in the region, as well as benefitting from exceptional terroir.
