Clos Du Mont Olivet is a renowned winery located in the Southern Rhône Valley, known for producing wines that reflect the rich terroir of the region. The Cotes Du Rhone Vieilles Vignes is crafted from a blend of traditional Rhône varietals, primarily Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre adding complexity. The grapes are sourced from old vines, which contribute to the wine's depth and concentration. The winemaking process involves traditional fermentation techniques, followed by aging in a combination of concrete vats and large oak foudres, which helps to preserve the wine's vibrant fruit character while adding subtle spice and structure. The wine exhibits a rich flavor profile with notes of ripe red berries, black pepper, and a hint of garrigue, supported by a balanced acidity and fine tannins. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
