During the last century, the Plan de Dieu region was famous for its abundance of oak trees on the roots of which truffles grow. A buried and highly coveted treasure, truffles were often gathered at night so as not to reveal their hiding place. In honour of this highly developed local activity and the &#8220;truffle oaks&#8221; that still grow along the edge of these parcels, &#8220;Les Rabassi&#232;res&#8221; bears witness to this heritage. <br><br> The Maison Bouachon reveals with &#171; Les Rabassi&#232;res &#187; all its know-how of the southern Rh&#244;ne valley in the art of the blending grenache - syrah. <br><br> SOILS<br> Coming from the Plan de Dieu area with typic soil, the cuvee &#171; Les Rabassi&#232;res &#187; find all its complexity.

Those soils associated to an important wind permit to have the best condition for berries maturity. <br><br> GRAPE VARIETIES<br> The Grenache (60 %) is the main variety, it give its suppleness to the wine, the Syrah (30 %) give its structure and finally the mourv&#232;dre (10 %) the complexity and finesse.</P> <P> <LI>SKU: RA06MB7 <LI>Apply my Wine Club Discounts!: No, I'm not a Wine Club member; Yes, I'm a Wine Club member</P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Category2" TITLE="Maison Bouachon Rhone">Maison Bouachon Rhone</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product3 TITLE="2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape">2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape</A> -- Famous wine from Rhone Valley, France <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product2 TITLE="Chateauneuf-du-Pape &quot;Dedication&quot; 2003">Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Dedication" 2003</A> -- Best of Vintage Small Lot (micro-cuvee) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product5 TITLE="Gigondas 2003">Gigondas 2003</A> -- Red wine from Rhone Valley <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product16 TITLE="Gigondas 2005">Gigondas 2005</A> -- Gigondas Syrah/Grenache 2005 <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product7 TITLE="St. Joseph 2003 (Syrah)">St. Joseph 2003 (Syrah)</A> -- 100% Syrah <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product10 TITLE="Tavel Rose 2007">Tavel Rose 2007</A> -- Quintessential Dry Rose from Rhone Valley <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product6 TITLE="Vacqueyras 2005">Vacqueyras 2005</A> -- Vacqueyras Syrah/Grenache 2005 <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product4 TITLE="White Chateauneuf du Pape 2004">White Chateauneuf du Pape 2004</A> -- 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape White </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa" TITLE="Skalli Family Wines Americas Products">Skalli Family Wines Americas Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.sfwamericas.com">Skalli Family Wines Americas</A> <BR>Skalli Family Wines Americas <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
