2021 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”

Barruol / Lynch
Discount Eligible $95.00
AT CART MAX

Head and shoulders the most regal wine of the trio, with a commanding presence in the glass and on the palate. A thick perfume of dry-aged meat, smoke, and violets preface a wine that is powerful, but in perfect proportion. Radiating class, it asks only for some time in a cellar to fully blossom.

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
