Domaine Constant Duquesnoy 2016 Cairanne Terra Rhona
Tasting Note
“Gerard Constant’s 2016 Cairanne Terra Rhona includes 5% cofermented Viognier. The rest is 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 25% Carignan. There’s a hint of green peppercorn from the Carignan but also plush blueberry and cherry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it shows ripe tannins, composed fruit and a sense of elegance unusual for the appellation. It should drink well for another 6-7 years.” – Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate 91/100
