Rêve de Scipion
Rêve de Scipion
Our newest addition to the range and our first GSM blend.
DESCRIPTION
Inspired by The Dream of Scipio, Cicero’s meditation on the guiding values and decisions that shape a life well lived. The oak-aged Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre (“GSM”, aka the ‘Holy Trinity’ of blends) reveal a graceful layering of ripe red and black fruit, lifted by elegant spice, freshness from the mountain terroir, and a long finish. Harnessing the notoriously late-ripening Mourvèdre at Chene Bleu can be challenging because of the cooler temperatures at altitude, but after several attempts they finally took root. The velvety tannins, spices and meaty notes enhance this wine’s complexity and balance.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
A versatile companion to red meat and Mediterranean cuisine-- grilled lamb chops, seared tuna steak, roasted vegetables, cheese or even a decadent dessert of red fruits and dark chocolate... Best served just below room temperature, after decanting. Aging potential: 10-12 years.
