2010 Gigondas “Les Racines” HALF BOTTLE

Domaine Les Pallières
Discount Eligible $39.00
AT CART MAX

The domaine’s oldest vines and 80% Grenache in the blend are the fundamentals of Racines. The tannins are soft, and the fruit is pure and elegant. Underlying that, though, is something dark and profound—a savory character reminiscent of tapenade.

**Extremely limited quantities, limit four bottles per order**

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
