CUVÉE JEAN BAPTISTE AUDY

Description
Wine Style:  Dry Red

Cuvée is a dark garnet coloured wine with intense aromas.  In the mouth the wine has a good backbone with smooth tannins and oodles of fruit.  It is made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (also known as Shiraz).  Created by the well known Negociant House Jean Baptiste Audy,  this is a captivating easy-drinking wine from vineyards in the Languedoc Roussillon. 

The Syrah grape can trace its heritage back to the northern Rhone and is used to make the great wines from Hermitage and Cote Rotie.  Syrah can produce rich full bodied powerful and opulent wines with great character.  Used in the blend for Cuvée Syrah adds notes of blackberry jam, ripe dark plums and black pepper with a hint of smoke.  Cuvée will accompany tomato based pastas and pizzas, richly flavoured casseroles, game and grilled meats.
