2018 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge “Il Fait Soif”
Maxime-François LaurentNot made for waiting, this is Maxime’s homage to the wines of Marcel Lapierre and others—wines that disappear more quickly than you would think possible. Serve it now, serve it cool, feel it slide on down.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
