The Romero family estate now covers around 26 hectares in the commune, with Grenache at its heart and many vines between 50 and 100 years of age. Clay and limestone soils do a lot of the work here, giving the wines their depth and warmth, while Frédéric Romero has carried the domaine forward in a style that keeps all that southern Rhône generosity without letting the wines become cumbersome. That balance is really what makes this bottle so appealing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
