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.

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.
