Drink or Keep
"Les Rabassières" refers to Rabasse, which means "truffle" in Provençal, a tribute to the Plan de Dieu region from which this cuvée comes, which was renowned for its abundance of truffle oaks. A supple, bewitching Côtes-du-Rhône with fresh summer fruits (apricot, peach) and exotic mango notes. Fresh on the palate, revealing good balance, fatness and good length, the whole being very harmonious.
