Domaine de la Côte de l'Ange - (France)

Domaine de la Côte de l'Ange logo

Domaine de la Cote de l’Ange dates back to 1972 when the domaine was founded by Jean Claude Mestre and Monique Jeune, both quite experienced as growers and winemakers in the southern Rhone. Domaine de la Cote de l’Ange produced their first vintage in 1974. The property has remained in the same families hands and is managed today by daughter Corinne Mestre and her sons Jules and Louis. They now own 13.5 hectares of vineyards in Chateauneuf du Pape and an additional 2.5 hectares of vines located in the Cotes du Rhone. 1.5 hectares are devoted to the growing of white wine grapes. The remaing 12 hectares are used in the production of red Chateauneuf du Pape wines.

This wine is a dark ruby red colour, with superb youthful glints of deep purple. The nose is very fresh, with aromas of violet, blackcurrant and dark fruits - but also red fruits, cedar and spices. It is light and fresh in the mouth, with a nice balance of roudedness and intensity, finishing on a peppery note combined with dark fruits.

Beautiful pale yellow with beautiful golden buttons. On the nose aromas of white flowers, peach, pears in syrup, candied fruit and marzipan. The taste is fresh and round, with a lot of softness. Long aftertaste, with flavours of vanilla, almond paste and white fruit in syrup.

Beautiful dark garnet red reflections that unfold. The nose opens with aromas of dried flowers, compote of red fruit on smoky notes of wild spices such as pepper and cinnamon and notes of fruit in brandy. Very full in the mouth, soft and structured, with a long finish on aromas of game and licorice.
