Excellent value for money for this wine from François-Xavier Nicolas, who still surprises me with this non-millennium Solera made from a blend of several wines from different years.

A very good wine
The blend of three vintages makes for a unique taste.
Drink now, but a few more years can only improve it.

Surprisingly complex and intense, I think it's worth many wines from the same appellation that are much more expensive.

A cuvée that leaves no one indifferent. Richly fruity with a hint of spice, it goes perfectly with beef and carrots.

Appellation
Côtes-du-Rhône
The appellation Côtes-du-Rhône is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison François-Xavier Nicolas and its 21 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
