2024 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Rouge
Selected by Kermit Lynch
When strangers learn I work for Kermit Lynch, many reveal they have a reliable hack for browsing their local wine shops: turn the bottle around, and if it has our back label, they know to trust it. With our “Selected by” line of wines, no flipping is required; the guarantee is written on the front! We partnered with the Leydier family (who also makes the beloved wines at Domaine de Durban) to dream up our most quintessentially southern Rhône country red. Black olive, fresh fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful quaffer and perennial bargain.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
