Pierre Amadieu 'Les Hautes Rives'

Pierre Amadieu Les Hautes Rives 2023 opens with expressive aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and plum, lifted by hints of violet, garrigue, and a subtle peppery edge that reflects the higher‑altitude terraces from which the cuvée takes its name. The palate is supple, vibrant, and quietly structured, offering juicy dark‑berry fruit supported by fresh acidity and fine, well‑integrated tannins that give the wine both lift and gentle depth. Notes of licorice, warm spice, and a touch of crushed stone add nuance without overwhelming the wine’s sleek, fruit‑driven core. The finish is smooth, savory, and pleasantly persistent, showcasing a beautifully balanced southern Rhône red crafted with Amadieu’s signature finesse and sense of purity.
