2019 Côte-Rôtie “Emporium”

Lionel Faury
Discount Eligible $112.00
SOLD OUT

Faury’s “Emporium” is sourced exclusively from the Fourvier lieu-dit and sees about a year longer in demi-muid and barrel than his standard Côte-Rôtie. With all the freshness and finesse you’d expect from Faury, this is about as downright swallowable as a young Côte-Rôtie can get.

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
