2016 Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Visan “Orpiment”

Maxime François Laurent
Discount Eligible $32.00
SOLD OUT

This bottling from Domaine Gramenon’s Maxime-François Laurent is fresh and beautifully balanced, with a bouquet of blackberries, black cherries, chamomile, pepper, tobacco, and spices. A 70% Grenache—30% Syrah blend, Orpiment bears hints of the olive and savory trademarks of its northern Rhône full-Syrah cousins. It is drinking well already and will only get better with a few years’ time. This paired nicely with a butternut and spinach lasagna on a recent Tuesday night, but it is versatile enough to accompany a steak or pizza, too. Optimal with a slight chill.
