2010 Gigondas “Les Racines” HALF BOTTLE

Domaine Les Pallières
Discount Eligible $39.00
AT CART MAX

The domaine’s oldest vines and 80% Grenache in the blend are the fundamentals of Racines. The tannins are soft, and the fruit is pure and elegant. Underlying that, though, is something dark and profound—a savory character reminiscent of tapenade.

**Extremely limited quantities, limit four bottles 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.
