Château La CosteLes Pentes Douces Rouge 2019

About this wine

Château La Coste's Les Pentes Douces is a beautiful expression of Provence's red wine potential, blending the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah's spice and elegance. This 2019 vintage captures the essence of the sun-drenched Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence terroir in every sip.

On the nose, you'll find ripe red berries mingling with hints of garrigue herbs and a subtle peppery note. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, offering flavors of cherry and blackcurrant with gentle tannins and a refreshing finish. It's approachable yet sophisticated, showing lovely depth without being heavy.

This red pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb chops, ratatouille, or a classic beef daube provençale. Serve it at around 16-18°C to let all those Mediterranean flavors shine through. It's ready to enjoy now, but if you're patient, it'll develop even more complexity over the next few years.
