It was fermented in concrete vats then aged for nine months in 5% new oak barrels. The wine is a very grapey color in the glass. There is a light nose of tightly packed black fruit, dried herbs, pepper, and licorice. In the mouth there are tight-grained blue fruit, fine, powerful tannins, and a little strawberry flavor breaking loose. With air the wine reveals pencil and pepper flavors along with the structure for aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003eYield: 40 hl\/ha\u003cbr\u003eAge of the vines: 40 years. \u003cbr\u003eVinification: 21 days skin maceration in temperature controlled concrete vats\u003cbr\u003eAgeing: 9 months oak aging -5% new French oak from Seguin Moreau cooper and 95% of 1 year old barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003eDelicious with roast meat, grilled vegetables, strong cheese and chocolate desserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.86px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\"Loaded with sweet oak, the 2015 Cotes du Rhone is a full-bodied sexpot, oozing with vanilla, cedar and baking spice. This is plush and velvety on the palate, hugely attractive in its obvious charms, finishing long, layered and rich. I suppose one could quibble with the style, but I found it delicious for drinking over the next 5 years or so.

It has a deep, graphite, mineral, and black-fruited profile, with subtle oak, medium to full body, and terrific purity. It’s relatively structured and will benefit from another year in bottle, but it’s a beautiful Côtes du Rhône that should see its 10th birthday in fine form.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; color: rgb(70, 63, 63); font-family: Bitter, \" times new roman serif\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck (March 2019), 92+ pts\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Segries (Chateau)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948949631023,"sku":"F0EE226028RRL","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/jeanalesilbl.jpg?v=1771485759","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/segries-clos-jean-alesi-cotes-du-rhone-rouge-2015","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
