Brotte Brotte Creation Grosset Cru des Côtes du Rhone 2022 750ml

Black cherry, cranberry skin, violet, white pepper, and thyme come together in a concentrated and expressive nose. The rich, powerful palate offers notes of licorice, balanced by fresh acidity, with minerality and stoniness driving through the midpalate. It finishes on a soft, salty strawberry note. This is an easy choice alongside an earthy, juicy burger—think mushroom or bison.

There’s a lot of juicy, bouncy fruit to love in this red, with pure, alluring notes of cherry and plum etched in graphite. Shows hints of smoked bacon and fleur de sel, with a thread of savory acidity pulling everything together. Firm and focused on the chalky finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
