Bouzons Cotes du Rhone

80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, a very typical blend from the Rhone and, in its way, Domaine des Bouzons’ long history is typical too. The vines are more than a half-century old and are farmed sustainably, in a process the French call lutte raisonée, or the “reasoned struggle.” It’s a fancy term for a system that is deeply respected in European winemaking communities. It’s how things are with wine; nothing is certain or simple; that too is typical.
