Clos St. Antonin, Côtes du Rhône 2023

Clos St. Antonin Côtes du Rhône 2023 is an elegant, structured Rhône red from Domaine St. Antonin, a 15-hectare estate positioned at the highest point of the Plan de Dieu appellation. Combining centuries-old winemaking traditions with a distinctive terroir and careful, manual harvesting, it offers excellent value for lovers of refined, food-friendly southern French reds.

Tasting Notes
The wine pours a deep ruby red. Its nose is expressive and inviting, revealing ripe cherry and blackberry aromas alongside delicate floral tones. On the palate, it is generously fruity yet well-balanced, with mature tannins, impressive structure and a polished, elegant finish. The 2023 is approachable in its youth, while its tannic structure and balanced concentration should allow it to develop additional savoury and mellow notes over the next few years. It can be enjoyed now with a short airing or held for medium-term drinking.

Production
The domaine’s 15 hectares surround a charming 18th-century Provençal mas on the elevated terrain of Plan de Dieu, with views toward the Dentelles de Montmirail, Mont Ventoux and the Rhône Valley. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected in the vineyard. After approximately 80% destemming, they undergo a 12- to 15-day maceration before maturing for nine months in concrete tanks and large wooden foudres, preserving freshness while adding balance and refinement.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for roasted, grilled or braised meats, this Côtes du Rhône is especially well suited to beef, lamb and pork dishes, as well as stews seasoned with mild spices. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but 30–60 minutes in a decanter can help open the wine’s fruit and floral aromas, particularly when enjoyed soon after release.
