2024 Côtes du Rhône Rouge
Selected by Kermit Lynch
Vines in Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne
Blending the 2024 vintage
Mural at Demazet Vignobles
Not everything can be iconic, despite what the internet would have you believe. And yet, in a humble corner of our portfolio, you can find perhaps our most iconic red. Dare I say, there is no better house wine? Best bought by the case, it’s unreasonably delicious year after year.
Sourced from Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne, just a stone’s throw away from its more famous namesake, the wine shines with quintessential southern Rhône qualities: dark fruit, bramble, and a vibrant freshness that feels as effortless when paired with a sumptuous braise (don’t forget to add a generous splash of the bottle to the sauce) as it does slightly chilled from an ice bucket on a warm day.
If I were to put together a mixed case of our greatest hits, this bottle would make the cut every time. It’s a classic, through and through.
