Pierre DuPond - La Renjardiere - Cotes du Rhone Rouge - Recolte

Overview:  The esteemed Dupond Family's roots and knowledge of the wine industry run deeply in Burgundy and the Rhône Valley, dating back five generations to the 1860s. In 1880 Joanny Dupond established the La Renjardière vineyard, which is situated in the area north of Chateauneuf du Pape. The 309 acre vineyard was originally a forest of oak trees that was called La Renjarde. Joanny cleared the area by hand and personally planted the vines, renaming the vineyard La Renjardière. Fifth generation and current proprietor, Hervé Dupond, oversees the family business. Each year Hervé selects the best possible plots to ensure his wines have the utmost quality. A traditional method of winemaking is practiced to ensure wines produced are reflective of the land.

Tasting Notes:  Refined and structured, this Cotes du Rhone seduces the senses with red fruit aromas that intertwine with hints of pepper and spice. A vibrant acidity and well balanced tannins consume the palate with layers of fruit that linger on the finish.
