Domaine Les Aphillanthes from Travaillan, just northwest of Gigondas, has the capability of jolting us into a renewed appreciation of the Côtes du Rhône region. The 4th generation at the domaine, grower and winemaker Daniel Boulle's terroir-driven southern Rhône wines are models of attention and balance - perfect fruit to optimally minute yields.

Primary dark berries, candied flowers, and peppery spices on the lively nose. Juicy and sharply focused, offering energetic black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that flesh out and deepen with air. Appealing flavors and spicy cut on the finish
