About this product

Inviting. Generous. A modern take on Rhône tradition.
Bold yet approachable, Brotte "Esprit" Côtes-du-Rhône captures the essence of the Southern Rhône: sun-soaked vineyards, ripe fruit, and aromatic complexity. Crafted by the historic Maison Brotte, a family-run producer with generations of experience, this cuvée blends Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre to create a wine that is both structured and generous — a true expression of the terroir.

Esprit is a wine of balance. Juicy red and black fruits mingle with hints of spice, pepper, and subtle earthiness, while soft, silky tannins give it elegance and ease. It’s versatile enough for everyday enjoyment yet expressive enough to impress guests. In Ireland, this Côtes-du-Rhône offers a welcoming introduction to Rhône reds, perfect for those who appreciate flavourful wines that are approachable, reliable, and affordable.

Whether shared over a hearty dinner, a casual gathering with friends, or simply savoured with quiet reflection, Brotte "Esprit" is a wine that embodies generosity, warmth, and character — qualities that resonate well with Irish wine lovers seeking authenticity and pleasure in every glass.

Why we love it:
Balanced and beautifully drinkable, Esprit is the kind of wine that makes you want to share a good meal. It offers classic Rhône character—fragrant garrigue, spice, and silky fruit—in a style that’s both generous and refined. A brilliant value for lovers of honest, terroir-driven reds.
