Release control & drink a Rhone blend

from Sip & Grow The Podcast Hosted by Nicole Di Pasquale

This week I am staying on course with French wines to see what they are all about. In today's episode I dive into a red blend from Rhone called Signargues Cotes du Rhone Villages. The brand/producer is Pierre-Henri Morel which was created in 2008 by Michel Chapoutier. Chapoutier is actually one of Rhone's most dynamic producers and this brand is run by Chapoutier's commercial producer which is Pierre-Henri Morel. This blend is located in an appellation in the far south of the Rhone wine region in which the key grape varietals are Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. I get into story time on how I found a wine key I misplaced and couldn't find and ended up getting into the beauty of letting go of control and allowing yourself to be in the moment and let things unravel organically for themselves. When we stop looking for something is when it ultimately finds us. Tune in now to get the full story on this producer, how this blend tastes and why releasing control can ultimately lead you to exactly where you need to be. 1:25 - Red blend from Rhone 1:50 - Most dynamic producer in Rhone 2:55 - Commercial producer 3:15 - Most popular grape varietal in Rhone 4:00 - Signargues (appellation of this wine) 4:55 - Red blend dream or disaster? 6:30 - Death of the papelito 7:45 - Pour the wine for tasting 8:05 - Visual analysis 8:40 - Olfactory analysis 9:25 - Taste the wine 10:40 - Soft & velvety 12:05 - Rating of the wine 13:00 - Wine key story 16:40 - Release control & accept the moment for what it is 18:30 - The last lecture by Randy Pausch 19:55 - Peace & freedom when you release control Today's wine: Pierre-Henri Morel Signargue Cotes du Rhone Villages 2020 $16 GET WINE HERE Connect with me on IG @sipandgrowpodcast Get your FREE Wine Aroma Wheel at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale Check out my Italian Wine Guide at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale
