This week I am staying on course with French wines to see what they are all about. In today’s episode I dive into a red blend from Rhone called Signargues Cotes du Rhone Villages. The brand/producer is Pierre-Henri Morel which was created in 2008 by Michel Chapoutier. Chapoutier is actually one of Rhone’s most dynamic producers and this brand is run by Chapoutier’s commercial producer which is Pierre-Henri Morel. This blend is located in an appellation in the far south of the Rhone wine region in which the key grape varietals are Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
I get into story time on how I found a wine key I misplaced and couldn’t find and ended up getting into the beauty of letting go of control and allowing yourself to be in the moment and let things unravel organically for themselves. When we stop looking for something is when it ultimately finds us.
Tune in now to get the full story on this producer, how this blend tastes and why releasing control can ultimately lead you to exactly where you need to be.
