I've got great news! Remember the Le Grange de Piaugier Cotes du Rhone that so many of you loved? It's back, it's got a new label, and it's as good as ever.
The 2022 Famille Autran Cotes du Rhone is one of the great CDR values on the planet. Classic and traditional in style, it has notes of perfectly ripened berry fruit, spice, and garrigue on the nose and on the silky and seamless palate.
It's the kind of red wine you want to have on hand for all sorts of occasions, and we've got it on deal at a great price:
Buy a Solid Six-Pack or More: $13.99 and over 25% off!
Anything less than that, and it's $18.99/bottle, still a great price for a great, estate-bottled wine.
The Autran family(Jean-Marc, Sophie, and their daughter Maude) also make the Piaugier wines, but our North Carolina supplier had some issues with their US-based importer. Instead of finding a new Cotes du Rhone producer, they contacted the family and asked if they would bottle a wine for them with a new label. The family agreed, and here we stand with the "new" wine, just in time for Christmas.
I tasted this last week, and I can confirm that this Grenache-led blend tastes just like the Le Grange de Piaugier. Medium-bodied, fresh, ripe, and supple, it is juicy, spicy, and packed with flavors of cherry, dark cherry, white pepper, and herb. I love how it balances ripeness and freshness, and it's just so easy to drink and enjoy.
This is the kind of red wine that is hard to stop drinking once the bottle is open. If you’re going to a holiday party, make sure to bring at least two bottles, but keep an eye on your bottles because once your friends taste it, they’ll be fighting over who gets the next glass.
This goes with everything or nothing at all, and I'm so glad it's back on the shelf at the shop, as it was impossible to find anything comparable.
Just $13.99/bottle and over 25% off if you get a solid six-pack. Just do it!
