2024 Côtes-du-Rhône “Poignée de Raisins”
Domaine Gramenon
Surely someone will take issue with this, but Maxime-François Laurent’s joyous biodynamic rouge feels to me like the southern Rhône’s version of Beaujolais Nouveau. A youthful bottling of mostly Grenache with a touch of Cinsault, it bursts with both varieties’ signature juiciness and—if we’re lucky—can illuminate what’s to come from the region’s 2024 vintage. I’d be lying, however, if I promised they’d all be this quaffable and delicious. Best served with a chill.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
