L'Homage Joseph Rivier 2004 RED France

Deliciously rich and spicy Hommage a Joseph Rivier 2004 is a very special red indeed. Handcrafted from premium old vine fruit in the celebrated Rhone village of Chusclan. It's named after a local winemaking hero the founder of the cellar with which we've had a friendship going back over 30 years. Winemaking traditions in Chusclan however go back a little futher to pre-Roman times in fact and its wines were well-known in the time of Louis XIV. Consistant quality led to it being one of the first Rhone villages alongside Gigondas to be allowed to put the village name on the label. Even today that totals only 16. Generous mouthfuls of blackberry and cherry with a sprinkle of spicy black pepper from the Chateauneuf style blend of Syrah Grenache Cinsault and Mourvedre. Smooth textured with soft tannins to be enjoyed alongside juicy stews and casseroles.
