Notes from Brett:
These are four of my favorite under-the-radar wines from great producers.
2021 Domaine Marcoux, Côtes du Rhône
The Marcoux Châteauneuf du Pape wines are truly remarkable and this Côtes du Rhône is a clear representation of the quality being produced at this Domaine.
2020 Moulin Gardette La Cuvée Tradition, Gigondas
The Gardette Gigondas is classically styled, offering a beautiful balance of fruit, earth, and dried herbs.
2012 Domaine de la Jaufrette, Vacqueyras
The Jaufrette Vacqueyras is a bit of a treat – yes, you read that right, it’s from the 2012 vintage. This wine was recently delivered directly from the domaine and offers a fresh example of a regional Rhône wine that was properly aged at the winery.
2022 Château de la Font du Loup, Châteauneuf du Pape
Finally, the Font du Loup wines truly pop with bright strawberry Grenache fruit flavors. The Font du Loup wines are pure, ripe, and elegantly defined, a spectacular value for this prestigious appellation I might add. Don’t miss this tour of the Southern Rhône.
