Here's Why You Should Stock Up
- The Rhone Valley's history contains a fascinating chapter, marked by the papacy's 67-year relocation from Rome to Avignon. The first in the line of seven popes came from Bordeaux and made the reorganization of the vineyards a priority, which served his successors well. The legacy of this remarkable era is evident in the wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Vacqueyras, and Gigondas.
- The Lavau family followed a similar path, beginning in Saint-Emilion and ending in the Rhone Valley by way of Tunisia. Since the 1960s, Maison Lavau has been collaborating with growers throughout the region to source the highest-quality fruit for their cuvees.
- Their 2023 "Innocent VI" Gigondas uses the classic combination of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre to achieve a balance of power and poise. By completely destemming the grapes, a purity of ripe blackberry, pomegranate, and cranberry notes characterizes the taste profile.
