André Brunel Côtes du Rhône Red — 750 mL
-
Tasting / Profile
• From a respected Rhône Valley house with deep roots in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône production.
• Typical cuvées (e.g. “Est-Ouest”) are Grenache-based blends (often with Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre) — delivering bright red fruits (strawberry, cherry, red plum), soft spice, and smooth, round tannins.
• Medium-bodied with balanced acidity and a supple, easy-drinking texture; finishes with gentle red-fruit and mild peppery/spice notes. -
Menu Versatility
• Solid choice for by-the-glass rotation — approachable enough for casual diners yet quality-oriented enough for a moderately priced red-wine list.
• Food-friendly pairing: works well with pasta with tomato- or meat-based sauces, pizza, roasted chicken or pork, grilled vegetables, Mediterranean fare, and charcuterie or soft-cheese plates.
• Flexible across service occasions: wine-by-the-glass for lunch/dinner, wine flights, or house-red option when you want consistent turnover with broad guest appeal. -
Operational Efficiency
• Standard 750 mL format — fits existing inventory, shelving, and glassware without need for adjustments.
• The blend’s forgiving nature ensures consistency vintage to vintage — easier stock management and fewer customer returns or flavor complaints.
• Because of its region and house pedigree, staff can sell it as “classic Rhône red” — simple, effective selling story with minimal training needed. -
Profit Potential
• Positioned as a value-import red — allows for healthy margin on by-the-glass pours while remaining competitively priced by the bottle.
• Useful as an “entry-level premium red” — upsell pathway from house-level wines without overshooting price expectations.
• High turnover potential due to approachability — good for volume-driven venues (bistros, casual dining, pizza houses) where wine moves steadily.
