2024 Côtes du Rhône Rouge
Selected by Kermit Lynch
Vines in Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne
Blending the 2024 vintage
Mural at Demazet Vignobles
Not everything can be iconic, despite what the internet would have you believe. And yet, in a humble corner of our portfolio, you can find perhaps our most iconic red. Dare I say, there is no better house wine? Best bought by the case, it’s unreasonably delicious year after year.
Sourced from Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne, just a stone’s throw away from its more famous namesake, the wine shines with quintessential southern Rhône qualities: dark fruit, bramble, and a vibrant freshness that feels as effortless when paired with a sumptuous braise (don’t forget to add a generous splash of the bottle to the sauce) as it does slightly chilled from an ice bucket on a warm day.
If I were to put together a mixed case of our greatest hits, this bottle would make the cut every time. It’s a classic, through and through.

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
