Costières de Nîmes: Château Roubaud: Cuvée Plaisir 2010

The Château Roubaud Cuvée Plaisir has red fruit aromas preceding a medium-bodied palate, with flavours redolent of blackcurrants and cherries with a hint of spice.

Costières de Nîmes: Château Roubaud: Cuvée Plaisir 2010

‘Cuvée Plaisir’ is the entry level wine from Château Roubaud, made from a blend of 30% Grenache Noir, 30% Carignan, 30% Syrah and 10% Cinsault. Bursting with ripe garrigue fruit over earthy tannins and scrubland scents, this crowd-pleasing, chest-thumping red is the perfect foil for robust, rustic dishes – cassoulet or pot au feu spring to mind.
