Le Ferme Du Mont Sarl Premier Cote 2014, Côtes Du Rhône, Rhone A.C., France: Stéphan Vedeau produced this robust southern French red wine blend that's a typical GSM, mostly Grenache, with about a third Syrah and the remainder Mourvèdre grapes. He's a third generation winemaker from Cotes Du Rhone. His wines are all organic products, free of chemicals and pesticides, the fertilizers are organic and he uses ambient or natural yeasts to ferment the wines. The wine was matured concrete tanks for 12 months. The vines are planted on the eastern slopes near the town of Courthezon, which lies along the eastern border of Châteauneuf du Pape in the Rhone. The 2014 vintage of the Côtes du Rhône Premières Côte grapes were picked in late September and early October. Drink: 2016-2020. 251645 14.50% D 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 91/100.
