From the historic house of Père Anselme, we present to you the red wine La Fiole Rouge 2021, originating from the renowned Côtes du Rhône appellation. A red wine that showcases the best of Grenache and Syrah, perfectly encapsulating the exceptional 2021 vintage, which translates into outstanding elegance, great potential, and long aging capacity. A synergy between the classic and the modern.
For its production, the clusters of Grenache and Syrah from Connaux, Saint Paul des Fonts, Gaujac, Laudun, and l’Ardoise were hand-harvested into boxes and quickly transported to the winery, where alcoholic fermentation took place in temperature-controlled tanks. Subsequently, the resulting wine underwent aging in a combination of French oak barrels and concrete tanks before its final blending.
As a curiosity, in 1952, several Rhône producers gathered to determine the most remarkable bottle from the region. La Fiole de Père Anselme triumphed in that local contest with its curved bottle, inspired by the Mistral wind that sweeps through the vineyards of southern Rhône. Since then, that bottle has adorned all the wines of La Fiole and can now be found in over a hundred countries.

In the visual phase, it presents a beautiful ripe cherry red color with a ruby rim and good depth.
On the nose, it reveals a very elegant and complex aromatic range. Initially, notes of black fruits in jam (blackberries and blueberries) appear, along with milky and cocoa touches. Later, spicy notes (bay leaf and pepper) can be appreciated, and finally, pleasant balsamic aromas (licorice) emerge over a subtle milky background.
On the palate, it confirms the elegance of the nose, being flavorful, enveloping, and endowed with noble and well-integrated tannins. Good final persistence, with hints of liqueur-soaked fruits.
