About This Wine

The 2021 Château Malijay Côtes du Rhône Rouge GSM is a delightful representation of the classic Southern Rhône blend, crafted with passion and expertise. This wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the hallmark grapes of the Côtes du Rhône region, resulting in a beautiful balance of fruit, spice, and structure. The vineyards of Château Malijay benefit from the region's warm, sunny climate, which contributes to the ripe, juicy fruit character of the wine.

Expect aromas and flavors of ripe red and dark fruits, such as cherries, plums, and blackberries, often accompanied by notes of spice, pepper, and sometimes hints of earthy undertones. The wine typically exhibits a smooth, approachable texture with well-integrated tannins, making it a versatile pairing for a variety of dishes. Château Malijay has seen a revitalization, particularly under the influence of Aude Deltin. Working with her father, Pierre Deltin who purchased the chateau in 2007, Aude has been a driving force behind the domaine. Aude Deltin helps to bring a modern approach to the traditional winemaking practices, while respecting the terroir of the region. This dedication is reflected in the quality and character of the wines. This Côtes du Rhône Rouge pairs well with grilled red meats, hearty stews, roasted poultry, and flavorful cheeses. It's also a great companion to Mediterranean cuisine. This red, rich, and intense style of wine from the Southern Rhône valley offers very good value for the price.
