This has a more sensual bouquet with luxurious red berry fruit, allspice and light fireside ash scents blossoming in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, harmonious and poised with silky tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a pure, slightly peppery note that fans out on the finish. This is very seductive, as usual.

Greek sailors from Phocaea established the nearby colony of Massalia (modern-day Marseille) in the sixth century BC, bringing their viticultural savvy to the region and planting what are thought to be Provence's first vineyards. The Romans later made their way here, establishing Cassis as an important fishing and commercial port while further developing the wine trade. Local wines earned an excellent reputation over the centuries, especially a sweet Muscat said to be among the Mediterranean's finest. In 1865, phylloxera struck, effectively destroying Provence's vineyards; when Cassis was replanted in the subsequent years, Muscat was left out in favor of Ugni Blanc, Clairette, and other grapes selected for production of dry whites. In 1936, Cassis gained the distinction of being named among France’s first official AOCs, in the elite company of Tavel and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCassis is not only an active port, but what Kermit calls “an earthly paradise.” The vineyards of Clos Sainte Magdeleine are particularly stunning: they jut out on a private cape to meet majestic limestone bluffs, poised spectacularly above the sparkling, azure waters. The domaine also has prized holdings on steep terraces carved into the sensational Cap Canaille, France's highest sea cliff perched 400 meters over the Mediterranean. Only a dozen \u003cspan class=\"MsoHyperlinkFollowed\"\u003evignerons\u003c\/span\u003e today are fortunate enough to produce AOC Cassis (the appellation covers just 215 hectares), and the small quantities available are largely consumed locally with fresh fish—the best way to enjoy them. The Sack-Zafiropulo family has been making wine here for four generations and continues to craft whites of grace and finesse, just as they did when founder Jules Savon won the Gold Medal for the domaine at the World’s Fair in 1900. That they share their limited quantities with us makes this long-term relationship all the more special.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViticulture and vinification at Clos Sainte Magdeleine are under the direction of Jonathan Sack, who took the reins from his father, François, in 2008. The domaine bottles both whites and rosés, the latter of which are especially limited. Sack completed conversion to organic viticulture in 2012, a philosophic progression after years of sustainable farming. He has also introduced new ideas from concrete egg vinification to experimentation with Vermentino, exploring the immense potential of this striking maritime \u003cspan class=\"MsoHyperlinkFollowed\"\u003eterroir\u003c\/span\u003e with curiosity and precision.

The five hectares of holdings are spread throughout the appellation, with vines dating back to the 1920s. The vineyards are managed sustainably, with a growing emphasis on organic practices.

Farmed by the legendary Brunier family (of Vieux Télégraphe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) in partnership with Kermit Lynch, this bottling takes its name from the estate’s steep, stony “devil’s terraces,” where gnarled old Grenache vines cling to limestone scree at 300–400 meters of elevation.

Old-vine Grenache (around 80%) forms the core of the blend, supported by Syrah and Cinsault, all harvested by hand and fermented with native yeasts in traditional concrete vats. The wine is then aged for 18–20 months in large, neutral foudres, a classic approach that polishes tannins and preserves the pure voice of the high-altitude terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1892\" data-start=\"1308\"\u003eIn the glass, \u003cem data-end=\"1343\" data-start=\"1322\"\u003eTerrasses du Diable\u003c\/em\u003e 2023 is a vivid, deep garnet, releasing an arresting bouquet of wild blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry, laced with the hallmark Gigondas scents of garrigue herbs, cracked pepper, and warm stones.

He farms sixty hectares of land along the alluvial terraces of the Lot Valley that are rich in siliceous, clay, and limestone soils. The microclimate of the vineyards is ideal, with southwest sun exposure and topographic protection against the frost. Over the years, Philippe has tinkered with the house blend to achieve a greater equilibrium. Today, the blend consists of 80% Malbec and 20% Merlot, creating an intense wine that juggles elegant rusticity with everyday drinkability. Coutale has quite a record of age-worthiness as well and Philippe is not afraid to pull out older vintages of his wines alongside much more expensive Bordeaux. They stand up pretty well! Nothing beats a bécasse or cassoulet with an old Coutale, but a simple steak fits the bill just fine.

Greek sailors from Phocaea established the nearby colony of Massalia (modern-day Marseille) in the sixth century BC, bringing their viticultural savvy to the region and planting what are thought to be Provence's first vineyards. The Romans later made their way here, establishing Cassis as an important fishing and commercial port while further developing the wine trade. Local wines earned an excellent reputation over the centuries, especially a sweet Muscat said to be among the Mediterranean's finest. In 1865, phylloxera struck, effectively destroying Provence's vineyards; when Cassis was replanted in the subsequent years, Muscat was left out in favor of Ugni Blanc, Clairette, and other grapes selected for production of dry whites. In 1936, Cassis gained the distinction of being named among France’s first official AOCs, in the elite company of Tavel and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCassis is not only an active port, but what Kermit calls “an earthly paradise.” The vineyards of Clos Sainte Magdeleine are particularly stunning: they jut out on a private cape to meet majestic limestone bluffs, poised spectacularly above the sparkling, azure waters. The domaine also has prized holdings on steep terraces carved into the sensational Cap Canaille, France's highest sea cliff perched 400 meters over the Mediterranean. Only a dozen \u003cspan class=\"MsoHyperlinkFollowed\"\u003evignerons\u003c\/span\u003e today are fortunate enough to produce AOC Cassis (the appellation covers just 215 hectares), and the small quantities available are largely consumed locally with fresh fish—the best way to enjoy them. The Sack-Zafiropulo family has been making wine here for four generations and continues to craft whites of grace and finesse, just as they did when founder Jules Savon won the Gold Medal for the domaine at the World’s Fair in 1900. That they share their limited quantities with us makes this long-term relationship all the more special.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViticulture and vinification at Clos Sainte Magdeleine are under the direction of Jonathan Sack, who took the reins from his father, François, in 2008. The domaine bottles both whites and rosés, the latter of which are especially limited. Sack completed conversion to organic viticulture in 2012, a philosophic progression after years of sustainable farming. He has also introduced new ideas from concrete egg vinification to experimentation with Vermentino, exploring the immense potential of this striking maritime \u003cspan class=\"MsoHyperlinkFollowed\"\u003eterroir\u003c\/span\u003e with curiosity and precision.

The reds are fresh, bright, and more high-toned with more perceptive acidity and tannic structure.  Densities and fruit concentration are great, but maybe a touch less than 2022 and more red than dark red fruits, though not strictly so.  Ageability is great for both styles\/colors in both 2022\/2023, it just matters more the style that you prefer. So, in general so far the whites seem more classic than the 2022s, while the reds are also classic with excellent quality.  The big difference between both vintages is not a matter of quality, it just comes down to preference of styles.

Greek sailors from Phocaea established the nearby colony of Massalia (modern-day Marseille) in the sixth century BC, bringing their viticultural savvy to the region and planting what are thought to be Provence's first vineyards. The Romans later made their way here, establishing Cassis as an important fishing and commercial port while further developing the wine trade. Local wines earned an excellent reputation over the centuries, especially a sweet Muscat said to be among the Mediterranean's finest. In 1865, phylloxera struck, effectively destroying Provence's vineyards; when Cassis was replanted in the subsequent years, Muscat was left out in favor of Ugni Blanc, Clairette, and other grapes selected for production of dry whites. In 1936, Cassis gained the distinction of being named among France’s first official AOCs, in the elite company of Tavel and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCassis is not only an active port, but what Kermit calls “an earthly paradise.” The vineyards of Clos Sainte Magdeleine are particularly stunning: they jut out on a private cape to meet majestic limestone bluffs, poised spectacularly above the sparkling, azure waters. The domaine also has prized holdings on steep terraces carved into the sensational Cap Canaille, France's highest sea cliff perched 400 meters over the Mediterranean. Only a dozen \u003cspan class=\"MsoHyperlinkFollowed\"\u003evignerons\u003c\/span\u003e today are fortunate enough to produce AOC Cassis (the appellation covers just 215 hectares), and the small quantities available are largely consumed locally with fresh fish—the best way to enjoy them. The Sack-Zafiropulo family has been making wine here for four generations and continues to craft whites of grace and finesse, just as they did when founder Jules Savon won the Gold Medal for the domaine at the World’s Fair in 1900. That they share their limited quantities with us makes this long-term relationship all the more special.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViticulture and vinification at Clos Sainte Magdeleine are under the direction of Jonathan Sack, who took the reins from his father, François, in 2008. The domaine bottles both whites and rosés, the latter of which are especially limited. Sack completed conversion to organic viticulture in 2012, a philosophic progression after years of sustainable farming. He has also introduced new ideas from concrete egg vinification to experimentation with Vermentino, exploring the immense potential of this striking maritime \u003cspan class=\"MsoHyperlinkFollowed\"\u003eterroir\u003c\/span\u003e with curiosity and precision.

However, these bottles are extremely limited in quantity, and they tend to be priced accordingly. Enter Crozes Hermitage: akin to an extension of Hermitage on the left bank of the Rhône, Crozes produces wines that are capable of hinting at Syrah greatness at bargain cost. That being said, quality varies tremendously here, as the appellation features both stony slopes ideal for producing wines of character and richer soils on flatter land—not nearly as noble a terroir. Louis Barruol has intimate knowledge of the northern Rhône’s vineyards, so he sources this Crozes from granite hillside plots that yield deep, chewy reds with concentrated aromas of smoke, black fruit, and graphite. Vinified traditionally (with stems) and aged in barrels without filtration, this is real-deal Syrah that demonstrates the strong personality—and value—to be found in Crozes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CROZES-HERMITAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40379688353926,"sku":"KL-BarruolCrozesTiercerolles","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/tiercerollescrozesbottle_2.png?v=1746542512"},{"product_id":"gramenon-cotes-de-rhone-poignee-de-raisins-2022","title":"Domaine Gramenon Cotes du Rhone Poignee de Raisins 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e$30.99 on 6+ Gramenon (Code: 6saves2)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90% Grenache \/ 10% Cinsault\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2023: 92 points Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Good depth of colour.
