CDR Villages Galets Plan de Dieu Aphillantes 14.5% (2020)8

A biodynamic wine, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre grapes. Traditional long maceration and vinification with natural yeasts in concrete tanks. It is tough as yields are very low and all the work is manual 47 hectare farm where they make about 130000 bottles a year across a dozen different cuvee.  The Plan de Dieu 2020 taken from name of the lieu dit where the vines are is perhaps the most striking of their Cotes du Rhone wines.  It is a stunning depth of fruit and concentration, lovely balance and a long smooth and satisfying finish.  This is outstanding Rhone wine and by today’s standards for the area, great value for money.
