2020 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Rouge

Selected by Kermit Lynch
Discount Eligible $14.00
SOLD OUT

A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Merlot, and Marselan may sound like an odd mix of bedfellows, but there is a method to this madness. Hailing from a parcel of co-planted vines adjacent to the family home, these varieties were planted together with the express purpose of making the house rouge, the everyday vibrant and juicy drink you’d bring to the table in a jug and drink out of a cup. While the wine was never meant to be exported, thankfully Kermit convinced the family many years ago to let us share in the experience. Jug and cup are not included, yet highly recommended.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
