Domaine Frédéric Brouca Côte de Glou 2018 750ml

Côte de Glou 2018 is a red from Domaine Frédéric Brouca in Faugères, in France's Languedoc, at 14% ABV.

It blends Grenache, Carignan and Syrah from organically farmed vines averaging 40 years old, grown on the schist slopes of Faugères.

The name is a playful one, for a wine you simply want to drink.

Expect a savory red with a peppery spice note and a long, clean finish.

Frédéric Brouca and his wife Elaine took over old vines in Faugères in 2012, with 2013 as their first vintage.

Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
