Château-d'Or-et-de-Gueules Costieres de Nimes Les Cimels 2003

Fruit is de-stemmed before fermentation in tank, and an extended maceration helps develop the intense color, and heady aromatics found in this wine.

Vintage in and out, this is always among the finest values in our portfolio!

Domaine d'Andezon Côtes du Rhône 2016

In 1994 Eric Solomon visited the Vignerons d'Estézargues and met a young, passionate director/winemaker named Jean-François Nicq. By the end of the day, they had decided on a custom bottling of old vine Syrah from one of their best parcels, Domaine d'Andezon. This opaque-black, blockbuster Syrah could have been a top Northern Rhone wine. What a find! Previously sold in bulk (vinous suicide) to a very famous producer in the Rhone Valley, Eric jumped at the opportunity to spotlight this unique expression of Syrah from a little-knowm corner of the Rhône valley. Depending on the vintage, up to 10% of the blend is Grenache from the same terroir as the Syrah.
