B&G Côtes-du-Rhône Gold Label AOC Tinto 2009 (Varietal Grenache, Shyrah, Carignan)

A Chris aproveitou uma das viagens a trabalho para explorar esta e outras oportunidades no Dutty Free. O legal é que neste rótulo o Syrah da o tom - gracas a deus pois ja tenho um trauma de Carignan.

Mais uma vez utilizei a técnica do amigo Paulista que aprendi em Teresopolis

Nota 7,0

The Gold Label range is an exclusive collection of French AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) wines, which reflect the Barton & Guestier’s expertise and unveil the best of each wine Appellation. All the wines are made of grapes grown in specific areas, with a strict control of grape varieties, yields and winemaking methods. Depending on the Appellation and quality, wines are aged in oak barrels or in stainless steel vats


All the wines are monitored and selected by the B&G winemakers team, lead by Laurent Prada*, who works in partnership with about 250 vinegrowers over the greatest French wine Appellations.


Our winemakers monitor all the steps of the process including pruning, harvesting, vinif ication, ageing, blending and bottling.
