What are the Grape Varieties in the 2004 Eric Texier Côtes-du-Rhône? We have started selling Eric Texier wines again and are getting many questions about what exactly is in the 2004 Côtes-du-Rhône. Americans like exact details and tend to view all wines as varietal compositions. A prominent Manhattan wine shop has done an extensive lab analysis and recently e-mailed us the details: Grenache -- 59.681 % Carignan -- 14.835 % Cinsault -- 10.044 % Clairette Cultivar N°1 -- 4.987 % Clairette Cultivar N°2 -- 5.031 % Roussanne -- 5.021 % Sauvignon blanc -- 0.003% Zinfandel -- 0.002% Petite arvine -- 1.044% Without Any Particular Identity : Everything else There is no merlot, petit verdot or chardonnay. This is a delicious wine and comes highly recommended by the wine press. |
