Famille de Boel France - Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Massif d'Ucheaux - Aleph 2023

BIODYNAMIC

Keywords : Spicy / Structured / Elegant

The wine : Discover Aleph, a generous and expressive cuvée from Famille De Boel France, in the AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages. This fine blend of Syrah and Grenache combines controlled power and aromatic richness. On both the nose and the palate, dark fruits (blackberry, plum) mingle with spicy notes of pepper and licorice, lifted by subtle hints of garrigue. The palate offers wonderful fullness, supported by present yet silky tannins, before stretching into a savory finish. Already appealing in its youth, Aleph will also reward a few years of cellaring to refine its structure and develop greater roundness. A wonderful bottle to share with grilled meats, slow-cooked dishes, or ratatouille!

The estate :  Located in Lemps, in the Rhône Valley, Domaine Famille De Boel France was founded in 2016 by Nelly France and Arnaud de Boel. The couple farms 11 hectares of biodynamic vineyards, spread across the north and south of the region. This diversity of terroirs gives rise to wines that combine deliciousness, finesse, and complexity, notably under the Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Saint-Joseph, and Cornas appellations. Syrah, Grenache, Caladoc, and Carignan make up the palette for the reds, while Marsanne and Roussanne give birth to the whites. In just a few years, this young estate has established its style and carved out a place among the must-watch domains of the region. A wonderful discovery for lovers of wines with character!
