Côtes du Rhône: a guide to choosing your wine

L’Automne, Résonance and Le Trésor de Fripon present the same 2024 Côtes du Rhône red in three designs. To choose this wine, start with its technical sheet and your planned dish. The bottle artwork changes; the stated blend remains 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre.

Appellation, grape and cuvée: what are you comparing?

An appellation identifies a regulated origin; a grape variety is a type of grape; a cuvée identifies a wine within a range. The official Côtes du Rhône website lists Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre as the main red varieties. Check the individual bottle’s details: neither its cuvée name nor its label artwork alone tells you the blend.

What is the budget for the estate’s wines?

€10 including tax per 75 cl bottle and €50 including tax per case of 6 bottles, excluding shipping.

Match the wine to the dish

Start with the dish’s preparation and seasoning. The 2024 red wine sheet describes dark fruit, spices and a supple palate. It suggests pairing with black truffle, grilled meat and mature cheese. These details come from the document linked below. For a multi-course meal, send the menu to the estate for advice.

A bottle, a case or a trade enquiry?

A €50 case of six works out at about €8.33 per bottle excluding shipping, compared with €10 individually. Six individual bottles cost €60, which is €10 more than the case. Then compare delivery costs and what you actually need. Trade customers have preferential prices and dedicated quotations; the public price is not a trade price list.

Check the seller and prepare your enquiry

L’Automne, Résonance and Le Trésor de Fripon are resold by MGCODB, the contractual seller named in the terms of sale. Online payment is being prepared. To request an offer, check the prices and purchase arrangements, then specify the label design, number of bottles or cases, delivery location and preferred date. Confirm availability and the delivered total before committing; a contact enquiry is not an order.
