The 2017 Côtes du Rhône Villages, Plan-de-Dieu 'RS' is another outstansing wine from Dirk Vermeersch in this vintage. Displaying a dark inky color and inviting aromatics of ripe blackberries and blueberries woven together with violets and garrigue. On the palate this possesses a lovely polished, opulent texture with lovely underlying acidity keeping it fresh and inviting. Flavors of dark and blue fruits continue to resonate on the fresh, juicy finish. While this has the potential for short-term cellaring its freshness gives it immediate appeal. Grenache 50%, Syrah 30%, Mourvèdre 20%. Drink now.
