94 pt French Gigondas $29.99 from Organic Domaine Solitude + 'Everyday'Côtes du Rhône White & Red $16.99 each
We love today's offer from an elegant domaine in the Rhône Valley, which has been in the hands of the Lançon family since the 17th century. Producing some of the best 'everyday' wines we have sourced in recent years, even our showstopper today is a bargain at $29.99. Made of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Clairette Rosé, this Gigondas will remind you of a very nice Châteaneuf-du-Pape, or if you imagine a Cabernet blended with Pinot Noir then sprinkled with spice. Gigondas could be your greatest wine discovery this Fall!
Next, we have the Lançon family's Côtes-du-Rhône red AND white. We have seen a real uptick in interest for Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc in the last few years. These clean, dry, fragrant, floral whites have lots of complexity and are versatile with food. Côtes-du-Rhône Reds have been popular as long as we can remember. They are the classic Parisienne café reds to order bottle after bottle (after bottle:) during a long afternoon or evening.
Cheers! the Murray family
