The Wine
Le Prestige is an exciting new release from Laurent Gauzi. Born and raised in the area, he has never lost his passion for its wines. In 2016 the quality of the Rhône’s Grenache was exceptional, and for this wine Laurent selected vineyards where the grapes were particularly gorgeous and ripe, thanks to large galet stones littering the ground. Just like they do in Châteauneuf, the stones absorb heat during the day and emit it at night, enhancing ripening of the grapes. He added a portion of herbal scented Syrah from cooler vineyards to gain the ideal balance of luscious, ripe fruit and structure. A charming, supple red that can be enjoyed young and lively or left to mellow if preferred. Great with grilled meats, sausages or herby casseroles.
