Côtes du Rhône – La Couronne du Prince Vintage 2018 750ml
The Côtes du Rhône – La Couronne du Prince Vintage 2018 750ml is the Grande Cuvée from Cellier des Princes, crafted only in the finest vintages. This Syrah-forward wine offers a bold alternative to the region’s usual Grenache blends.
Grapes come from vines aged 30 to 50 years, grown on clay-siliceous slopes with alpine alluvium. These conditions bring depth, minerality, and aging potential.
Grape Composition:
- 50% Syrah
- 45% Grenache
- 5% Mourvèdre
In Côtes du Rhône – La Couronne du Prince Vintage 2018 750ml, Harvesters handpick the grapes for quality. Winemakers destem the fruit and ferment it in stainless steel vats for 4 to 5 weeks. Daily punch-downs and pump-overs intensify the flavor. Fermentation stays between 28–30°C.
The wine matures for 12 months in oak barrels, with one-third being new. This aging method adds complexity without masking the fruit.
Serving Tips and Pairings:

- Ideal with Mediterranean dishes
- Pairs well with grilled lamb, venison, and spiced cuisine
