Les Grimaudes vineyard is located within the appellation of Costières de Nîmes in the Rhône Valley. Marc Kreydenweiss is a firm believer in biodynamic principals, and has applied these to every aspect of the vineyard and wine making process. Crafted by the matriarch of the Kreydenweiss family, Emmanuelle, this wine is a veritable explosion of bright fruit flavors without being overpowering. A blend of Grenache, Carignan, and Cinsault, the concentrated fruit remains juicy, fresh, and savory on the palate. The bouquet has fragrant aromas of blackcurrant with hints of violet and pepper. This vintage expresses the subtlety of the wines of Southern France, and has great freshness mixed with an incredibly velvety mouth feel and soft, smooth tannins. This is an incredibly easy and delicious wine to drink on its own or as an accompaniment to a variety of dishes. (from the vintner)
