Rhone Valley, France

La Souteronne is made from Gamay - the vines are between 70 to 90 years old. This is, like the Syrah, truly superb - floral, fruit driven Gamay with an edgy mountain freshness and an attractive Rhône accent that gives it an incisive, meaty drive. It has an exquisite aroma, is luscious, crunchy and incredibly moreish - a desert island wine for me and very popular, so be quick! - Andrew Gaurd, Importer
