A luscious example of pinot noir with solid red and dark fruit notes and a microcosm of floral, loamy forest floor on the palate. Savour now or 10 years from now.
The Candide's older sibling, this wine has a fragrant nose of candied blackberry, with a crisp minerality and smooth tannins backing it up on the palate.
Cellar a bottle or two of this superb wine while you drink our two other terrific Domaine Guion Cabernet Francs in the meantime. Made only in the best vintage years, from 70-80 year old vines, it gives Lambert's "Moleton" a run for its money.
Whole cluster fermented Syrah with almost two years in barrel before bottling. One of the absolute top expressions of Rhône Syrah in the world from a traditionalist family producer based in Côte-Rôtie.
Feeling globalist pressure against local varietals, winemakers in Fronton have tried to eradicate Negrette. The folks at Le Roc are fighting the good fight with this well-priced bottle Eric Asimov calls "...ripe, succulent, exotically fruity, delicious, easy drinking."
Funky and medium-bodied, with notes of strawberry and dry cranberry, a menthol-and-rosemary herbaceousness, and subtle tannins, this is a crushable cerasuolo-esque red that would pair perfectly with grilled veggie skewers.
