PRODUCER: VIGNOBLES DU PELOUX
AC COTES DU LUBERON
The Rhone is one of France’s main arteries, dividing departements, fostering trade and commerce, and nurturing agriculture. The Romans used it on their way north. Most classical historians consider that it was on the Cotes du Rhone that vines were first planted in France.
Different grape varieties are given predominance according to the prevailing soil. The Rhone in fact, provides virtually every type of wine that one could want, from deep, long-lived reds, to more light, quaffing versions, luscious dessert wines and sparklings.
In 1942, Paul Du Peloux, founder and grandfather of the present chairman and CEO Jerome Seguin, settled in Courthezon, a historical village at the heart of the Avignon region, and launched the family business. The major expansion began in 1990 when export activities commenced, followed by the purchases of “Domaine Mas de Beaulieu” (Pont du Gard-1999) and “Cave du Pont de Crillon” (Courthezon-2001).
Description: this wine is made blending Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan grapes, aged and bottled at the winery.
This a soft and well-balanced red wine which makes and excellent accompaniment to almost any dish.
