2023 Vacqueyras “Un Sang Blanc”
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit, a blend of six grapes, to be exact. This is not a wine to age but a wine to enjoy with rich, oily foods. It is made more in the mold of a Roussanne-based southern Rhône than a Marsanne-based northern Rhône, if you get my drift.

France | Southern Rhône
It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

2023 Vacqueyras Rouge “ Doucinello”
France | Southern Rhône
The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.

2023 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge “La Rubiconde”
France | Southern Rhône
The complexity and depth of this wine is driven by the 60-80 year old Grenache vines reaching deep down into the clay and limestone soils.

2022 Vacqueyras Rouge “Floureto” MAGNUM
France | Southern Rhône
The Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.

France | Southern Rhône
Stony, spicy, and dense, it evokes red berries, watermelon, and garrigue and offers a beautiful accompaniment to a wide range of dishes.

France | Southern Rhône
An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

France | Southern Rhône
Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.

2023 Côtes-du-Rhône “L’Emouvante”
France | Southern Rhône
Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.

2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc “La Crau”
France | Southern Rhône
Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.

2019 Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise
France | Southern Rhône
This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit. Have an ice cream maker? This wine makes the best sorbet you’ll ever taste!

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
