2024 Pierre Amadieu Cotes du Rhone Roulepierre Rouge

The Pierre Amadieu family has been a fixture in Gigondas since 1929, with quality in every wine they produce, down to their great value entry-level bottlings. 

The Roulepierre 2024 isn't a heavy, overworked red; it’s a bright, stainless-steel-fermented blend of Grenache and Syrah that prioritises fruit purity and juiciness over oak influence.

Sourced from stony, clay-limestone soils, the wine is hand-harvested and vinified to keep things fresh. It’s got classic Southern Rhône generosity, dark blackberry and plum - but with a clean, supple palate and a light touch of liquorice on the finish.

It’s the kind of reliable, characterful red that works just as well with a casual mid-week roast as it does with rustic Mediterranean dishes. Drink it now or over the next few years.
