2018 Côtes-du-Rhône “La Sagesse”

Domaine Gramenon
Discount Eligible $47.00
SOLD OUT

If you’re looking to store some rays for a rainy day, Michèle Aubery says her Sagesse will age nicely for years to come. Made from the “younger” of the old vines (planted in the ’50s), this Côtes du Rhône flaunts the purity and power of 100% Grenache. Try it now, but do take Michèle’s recommendation and cellar some, too.

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
