Côtes du Rhône Dan & Fred 2020

- 90 points -

This organic and biodynamic Côtes du Rhône is named for proprietors Daniel and Frederic Coulon, who belong to the seventh-generation leading Domaine de Beaurenard. Don't let the fun name and packaging mislead you. This is serious Côtes du Rhône, well-deserving of the price. There's a lovely purity to the fruit, with macerated raspberries and brambles joined by peppery spices, thyme, and sun-baked clay. It's juicy yet concentrated, carrying the 15% abv well, and structured by ripe, fine tannins, which shows this is more than a step above your average CdR.
