Descrizione

Gard Rouge Rive Droite from the renowned Clos Mont Olivet is an authentic expression of the terroir of southern France. This wine represents a harmonious blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, which provide structure, depth, and complexity to the blend.

In appearance, this wine presents with an intense red color, almost ruby, heralding the richness of its aromas and flavors. On the nose, seductive notes of ripe red fruit emerge, with cherry and blackberry standing out, accompanied by spicy and slightly toasted nuances due to aging in barrique.

On the palate, Gard Rouge Rive Droite offers a medium-full body, with an impeccable balance between fresh acidity and soft tannins. The finish is persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of sweet spices and vanilla.

Perfect pairing with robust dishes like grilled red meats, rich stews, or aged cheeses, this wine is ideal for those seeking an intense and enveloping tasting experience, typical of the Rhône wine tradition. Serve at a temperature of 16-18°C to enhance all its nuances.
