2018 Ventoux Rouge “Mégaphone”

Frédéric & Daniel Brunier
Discount Eligible $27.00
SOLD OUT

Ever been skiing in Provence? It’s a bit of a secret among locals, but you can, in fact, on top of snowcapped Mont Ventoux for a month or so in winter—one chairlift and four small trails with real snow. Down the hill a bit lie the Ventoux vineyards. In the glass, fresh mountain air and exuberant Provençal olive and plum fruit make an unexpected, delicious encounter.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
