2019 Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Visan “Orpiment”

Maxime François Laurent
Discount Eligible $36.00
SOLD OUT

A glorious ruby robe with purplish glints prefaces this blend of old Grenache with some Syrah from the Visan subzone of the Côtes-du-Rhône. The nose follows with evocative scents of Provence: sun-ripened blackberries, lavender, black olive, garrigue...A dusting of earthy tannins gives this plump, generous red just enough texture and grip.

Anthony Lynch

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.
