After conducting a thorough search for the finest wines in France, the C. Mondavi & Family team was drawn to the exceptional quality and old-world charm of Villa Pereire. The collection features three standout wines, each with its own unique flavor profile:
- Bordeaux Blanc, 2021, AOC: Sourced from the rocky, well-drained soils of Bordeaux, France, this wine boasts mineral and citrus notes that are complemented by a supple, toasty oak complexity. Its versatility makes it an excellent pairing for a wide range of dishes, while also being enjoyable to drink on its own. Offered at $22.99.
- Bordeaux, 2020, AOC: This wine is sourced from the low-lying gravelly hills of the Garonne riverbanks in France, where the sandy-pebbly, well-drained soils create optimal conditions for growing concentrated berries that intensify the wine's flavors. With a full-bodied character and savory notes of graphite, black currant, black cherry, and tobacco, this wine is supported by firm and balanced tannins, culminating in a long and velvety finish that provides an exceptional experience for the senses. Offered at $22.99.
- Côtes-du-Rhône, 2021, AOC: Hailing from the Côtes-du-Rhône region in Southern France, this medium-bodied wine is an artful blend of Grenache and Syrah varieties. Notes of raspberry, lavender, fig, blackberry, dried herbs, and cured meat on the nose and palate create a harmonious and well-rounded flavor profile. The finish is soft and supple, making it a delightful wine to savor. Offered at $22.99.
According to Pam Novak, Vice President of Marketing for C. Mondavi & Family, "Villa Pereire is a wine brand that is distinctly positioned and reaches a new target audience for us in the marketplace. We selected only the highest quality wines from regions renowned for producing exceptional wines at an attractive price point that exceeds the expectations of US consumers."
