About
the Producer: Pierre Olivier was
the eldest son of a family whose vineyards had long
been established in Burgundy. Early in his career,
he became the cellar master for an important negociant
in Burgundy. During this time, Pierre began to
collect his own stock of premier Crus
and unique village wines. These wines were hidden
during and survived World War II. At the conclusion
of the war, Pierre began to sell these wines to customers
and further established his reputation as having an
excellent nose and palate for the selection of outstanding
wines. This tradition, as reflected by the worldwide
recognition these wines routinely receive, the passion
for viticulture and winemaking continues undiminished
in the current generation.
Tasting
Notes: An elegant and supple Rhone
wine that shows red fruits and blackberries with a hint
of signature Rhone spice in both its aromas and flavors.
Very supple and delicious.
Recommended
Food Pairings: Consider this wine with
meals having any tomato-based sauce.
