Taste

Bursting with red fruit on the nose, the Domaine Juliette Avril gets a little heavier on the palate….but not too heavy. The Syrah adds some power, pepper and blackcurrant, but the wine is dominated by the jammy red fruit from the Grenache. There’s also a little smoke, anise, and nutmeg in there to add some extra layers of complexity. Lingers on the finish, but doesn’t dry out the palate. As I said, perfect for newbie French wine drinkers.

 

Pairing

Highly versatile from a food pairing perspective. Red sauce pastas, pizza, burgers, ribs, red meat in any form, smoked meats, and sausage would all go great with the Avril.

$16.99 – Available in Jacksonville from Riverside Liquors and/or Royal Palm. Call first to order/confirm stock.
