Cuvee des Templiers CDR - Red

Price: $10.00

description
The Cave in Villedieu is a cooperative that produces wines sold in many of the local restaurants in the southern Drome and northern Vaucluse, but has never exported to the U.S. Villedieu is home to one of the few remaining old town squares in Provence, anchored at one end by an 11th century church built by the Knights Templar. We import their Cuvée des Templiers red and white wines, named for the village's Templar associations.

The red is on the lighter side but well balanced, with enough tannins to give it some depth to accompany food and have a good finish.
