Discover the depth, complexity, and superb value of Bernard Schurr Côtes du Rhône Villages 2020, an organically produced red from the Plan de Dieu appellation in the Southern Rhône. Crafted in small parcels by winemaker Bernard Schurr, this 50/50 Grenache Syrah blend is cultivated by multi generational, organic growers and bottled with minimal intervention to showcase genuine terroir expression.

The palate offers medium bodied structure, vibrant red and dark fruit, baking spices like clove and nutmeg, and fine grained tannins framed in old oak.
