  2019 Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu Vielles Vignes, Domaine Saint Damien

  £1695

  An opulent and spicy full-flavoured wine, with layered flavours of prunes and garrigue from this award-winning producer.

  The vineyards are located in the relatively new appellation of Plan de Dieu, which translates as Plan of God in English. Despite the first historical mentions of the “Plan Dei”, which date back to a parchment from 1326, the lieu-dit of Plan de Dieu was only designated a red wine producing appellation in 2005. The climate here is classic Mediterranean with the additional influence of the Mistral winds. The terroir sits on an alluvial plateau with calcareous gravel, which retains water, helping to preserve the vines during the hot and often arid summer months.
