2023 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge “La Rubiconde”
Maxime François Laurent
This more serious wine from Maxime emphasizes the garrigue from this corner of the Rhône Valley along with the fruit. Pure Grenache from old vines.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
