Dom. St. Damien Cotes du Rhone 'La Bouveau' '22

This overachieving Côtes-du-Rhône displays vibrant ruby hues and explosive aromas of black cherry, lavender, and white pepper. Blending Grenache and Syrah from limestone soils creates surprising depth - flavors of red plum, cocoa powder, and stony minerality earned 92 points. Aged 12 months in concrete, the fresh finish shows garrigue notes, perfect with roasted chicken or mushroom pasta.
