Product Notes

Montirius Côtes du Rhône La Muse Papilles is an enticing red wine from the southern region of the Rhône Valley in France. This wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes, with a rich ruby color and incredible aromas of black fruits, spices, and licorice. It's medium-bodied, with intense and expressive flavors of black cherry, plum, and raspberry, complemented by subtle notes of chocolate and vanilla. The tannins are beautifully structured, giving this wine a smooth and elegant finish that pairs perfectly with red meats, game, and hearty stews. This wine is a must-try for any lover of Rhône Valley wines.

Tasting Notes

A fruity, mouth-watering wine. On the nose it reveals aromas of cherries and raspberries. It lines the mouth and the palate and the fruit remains present.
