Heritages Côtes du Rhône

Ogier 2009 Heritages Côtes du Rhône

89 Points

This excellent Côtes-du-Rhône is better than many $30+ Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is midweight, juicy, fresh and fruity. Expect aromas of red cherry, with some floral and nutty complexity and a touch of white pepper. Soft, fruity palate, with enough tannin and acidity for structure and some nice white pepper spice for excitement. Try with roast pork or poultry. Best 2011 to 2015.
