2019 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge “Il Fait Soif”
Maxime-François Laurent

A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit.

France | Southern Rhône
Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

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.
