Château Gres Saint Paul | Cuvée Romanis | AOC Coteaux du Languedoc 2004

PV Tasting Notes

The ruby-coloured 2004 Romanis exhibits spice and blackberry aromas. Light to medium-bodied and silky-textured, it offers sweet red fruit flavours in its easygoing yet expressive character.

A beautifully soft red to go with a hearty beef casserole, steak and Kidney pie, sautéed Calf’s liver, and will also suit roast beef or lamb.

Year in year out Château Grès Saint Paul produce a succession of great wines of true value, which if tasted blind amongst some of the better known wines of the Rhône selling at four and five times the price they would be in the top selection from virtually every vintage. The two partners of the Château, Jean-Philippe Servière and Philippe Salasc are without doubt two of the finest life loving and generous people one could ever wish to meet, totally committed to producing the finest wines available throughout the Languedoc region. The legion of awards won over the past decade stands as testament both to their artistic skill and their stoic workmanship.
