Description

Chateau de Husson dates back to 1890 when the Southern Rhone Valley Domaine was created by the Granget family. When Jean Pierre Hugues and Anne Hugues purchased the property in 2008, they began a program of modernizing the estate, their vineyard practices and completely renovating their wine-making facilities.


They also shortened the name of the estate to Chateau Husson. The Hugues family were experienced winemakers by that time as they had been producing wine since 1986 in Luberon at Domaine de la Royere. Chateau de Husson was sold to Aubert Freres in 2015. Aubert Freres also owns Chateau Le Grand Retour in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation.

Grenache (60%) is the primary grape variety contributing balance and structure, with heavenly aromas of licorice and spices. Mourvèdre (35%) and Syrah (5%) contribute colour and acidity, and further aromatic notes of violet, small red fruit, leather, and smoke.

Review

Raspberry and cherry flavours are ripe and primary in this plump, juicy blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre sourced from 100% pebbly soils. It's an easy, approachable fruity wine with soft, pliant tannins and a delicately spicy finish. Best enjoyed young.
