The 2022 Cuvée Le Bec is the 25th vintage of this bottling. It's a fantastic entry-level Rhône blend. Dark, sumptuous fruit, savory minerality, tobacco and a floral air join together in a layered, harmonious profile. Structured enough to age, yet irresistibly delicious today the 2022 is a standout in this range.
Editor's Choice
This lighter bodied Rhône blend is always a refreshing crowd pleaser, perfect for a wide range of fare. Aromas of purple flower, smoked meat and thyme show on the nose, while the palate's mix of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise shows plum and pepper flavors.
Based on 52% Syrah, 33% Grenache, 12% Mourvèdre, and 3% Counoise, the 2022 Cuvée Le Bec was 90% destemmed with 10% whole clusters and brought up in stainless steel tanks. Darker berries, peppery herbs, and some Southern Rhône-like spice all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, has terrific purity of fruit, and a charming, delicious style. California's answer to a great Côtes du Rhône.
