A tank-aged blend of Grenache and Syrah, Chapoutier's 2019 Rasteau shows the traditional dusty, baked-fruit character of the appellation. Blackberries and plums, scorched earth and hints of espresso and dark chocolate appear on the full-bodied palate, which, despite the ripeness, doesn't seem that rich or concentrated this year, with gentle, silky tannins that lap gently at the edges of the tongue.
