Chateau de Fonsatlette Cote du Rhone 2012

From the Reynaud family, owners of Chteau Rayas, Fonsalette shows the same haunting touch of perfume and texture in a humbler frame. Grenache-based with small portions of Cinsault and Syrah, the 2012 has evolved beautifully: dried strawberry, herbs, earth and a whisper of forest floor. Silky and refined, its the quiet voice of the Rayas style delicate, distinctive and endlessly nuanced.
