Autard Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge 2023 comes from Domaine Paul Autard, a family estate in Courthezon whose parcels sit just outside the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Built on a classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, it is hand-harvested, double-sorted, and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel over roughly 25 days. We love how it captures the smoky, garrigue-laced warmth of its neighboring grand cru at an everyday price, offering ripe dark fruit, pepper, and supple tannins.
