2024 Côtes du Rhône Villages Rouge

Selected by Kermit Lynch
Discount Eligible $18.00
AT CART MAX

Our newest partner in the Rhône Valley, the wine co-op Les Vignerons d’Estézargues has, remarkably, pursued progressive farming and winemaking for much of its sixty-year history, working closely with its partner growers to emphasize organic viticulture before ushering the pristine fruit through low-intervention practices in the cellar. The utter deliciousness of this rouge and the class of its terroir make the price nearly unfathomable. Add to these qualities the lovely label designed by one of France’s great wine artists, Michel Tolmer, and you have a house red that charms on every front.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. 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.
