Uzes – Vin de Pays Duché d’Uzès

Must be serendipity –  finding out about the Truffle Festival at Uzès (30 Gard, Occitanie) at the end of January. and today hearing of the wines of the same town – the Vin de Pays Duché d’Uzès. These wines come from an area which straddles the southern Rhône and the Languedoc (north of Nimes, west of Avignon) and features a blend of traditional Grenache and Syrah as well as a couple of Merlot and Cabernet-based reds. Don’t be put off by the lowly Vin de Pays appellation – Jancis Robinson has written of the wines from this area with high praise!
