2005 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge “Ceps Centenaires La Mémé”

Domaine Gramenon

Straight from Kermit’s cellar.


Domaine Gramenon is the authentic embodiment of the philosophies that the Laurents espouse. That they take such gutsy risks as bottling old-vine fruit with so little sulfur, without fining or filtration, only demonstrates the lengths they will go to in order to highlight the freshness, purity, and intoxicating aromas of their small, rare production.


*Extremely limited quantities, limit one bottle per order

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
