We’ve been fans of Jean-Marc Diffonty’s wines since the early 1990s, long before they became sought after around the world. We are delighted to add this spicy Réserve Côtes du Rhône to our list, particularly thrilling in another great Rhône vintage.

The Wine
With their wines acclaimed by critics worldwide, Diffonty is a household name in the southern Rhône. Fine wine expert and Rhône fan Robert Parker described the Diffonty family’s Cuvée du Vatican wines as “full-bodied, powerful, rich and oozing unmistakable provençal character”. Comprising mostly Grenache supported by a little Syrah, the Réserve de l’Abbé is made by Jean-Marc Diffonty with as much care and attention as he affords his top reds. The wine was fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and traditional wooden vats before blending and bottling. It is sumptuously aromatic with red berry jam and wild herb complexity. Best decanted an hour in advance, the wine is ideal served with lamb and ratatouille or a hearty casserole.
