"...Most are red blends based on Grenache or Syrah and the vineyards are planted on a variety of different soils. Production rules are not as strict as other levels but wines must have a minimum of 11% alc. and be made from the 21 sanctioned grape varieties.... These wines are easy drinking, food loving wines that are perfect for everyday. The white blends and rosés are equally delicious too, even if a little harder to find..." Source: Wine Folly |

Les Courtilles Cotes du Rhone (12pk)
More about Les Courtilles Find a stockist Soil: Stony Clay Summary: Les Courtilles (a series of small courtyards) is named after the village winery founded in 1997 by Bernard Schurr.
