Domaine de Piaugier, Côtes du Rhône Rouge La Grange de Piaugier 2021

Domaine de Piaugier calls the Côtes du Rhône village of Sablet home. In and around this village known for its sandy soils (sable = sand in French), the Autran family owns 30 hectares of vines dominated by Grenache but accompanied by assorted red and white Rhône variietis. 

Destemming was introduced in 2006, all wines ferment with natural yeast, and tempreature is strictly controlled to preserve freshness.

While Grenache can sometimes overpower other varieties, Jean-Marc's gentle touch and gift with blending translate to vibrant, elegant wines that truly overdeliver.
