Full-Bodied Red From Rasteau Just Outside Chateauneuf du Pape
The New York Times published an article titled “The Rising Stars of French Winemaking.” The article talks about two lesser known appellations, Cairanne and Rasteau, as being the new stars of the southern Rhone. Rasteau is the latest appellation to be promoted to “cru status” like Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and Chateauneuf du Pape.Today, we’re featuring one of the best values you will find from Rasteau. Most wines from Rasteau sell for $15-30 per bottle. The 2011 Cave de Rasteau La Domeliere Rasteau is just $12.97 per bottle and it’s a full-bodied red with plenty of concentration and structure. This is a lot of wine for the money!
