2024 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Rouge

Selected by Kermit Lynch
Discount Eligible $15.00
AT CART MAX

The KLWM staff takes great pleasure in tasting new vintages of our “Selected by” bottles. These wines may not carry the same bragging rights as Burgundy or Bandol, for example, but they are the bottles we drink more regularly. As such, murmurs of excitement and satisfaction echo throughout our offices and retail shop(s!) when the newest shipment of our favorite selection—and we all have a favorite—lands. The Vaucluse rouge happens to be mine, and is produced by the Leydier family of Domaine de Durban, whose Gigondas and Muscat often make appearances at my holiday tables. On weeknights, however, I turn to this easy-drinker full of dark fruit, black olive, and bramble. It’s light enough on its feet to serve with a chill, but still hearty enough to stand up to winter fare.

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

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.
