Introduction:
The 2019 Domaine Guintrandy Visan Côtes du Rhône-Villages "Les Deves" is a bold yet balanced Rhône red that captures the depth and complexity of the Visan terroir. With its ripe fruit, earthy undertones, and structured tannins, this wine embodies the classic Southern Rhône profile while maintaining elegance and freshness.

Terrior:
Hailing from Visan, one of the Côtes du Rhône-Villages appellations, the vineyards are planted on limestone-rich clay soils, which contribute to the wine’s structure and minerality. The Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cooling Mistral winds, allows for optimal ripening while preserving acidity.

Appearance:
Deep ruby with garnet highlights, showing signs of early development.

Nose:
Aromatic and expressive, featuring ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, with layers of garrigue (thyme, rosemary, lavender), black pepper, and a hint of smoked meat. Subtle oak influence adds spice and depth.

Palate:
Full-bodied with a rich and velvety texture. The wine showcases concentrated black fruit flavors, complemented by earthy notes of dried herbs, black olive, and leather. The firm yet polished tannins provide structure, while the balanced acidity keeps the wine lively and fresh.

Finish:
Long and lingering, with dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality leaving a lasting impression.

Overall Impression:
A powerful yet refined Rhône red with depth, complexity, and excellent aging potential. This wine is ideal for pairing with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. While approachable now, it will continue to develop beautifully over the next several years.
