An ode to Grenache, the 2023 Côtes du Rhône Villages Sablet 9 mg Red is a model of balance and finesse. Made without added sulfur (containing just 9 mg of free CO₂) and aged without oak, this wine comes from sandy clay soils and delivers a remarkably pure expression. Aromas of peony and dark berries mingle with a subtle smoky touch, while the palate is smooth, velvety, and generous—lifted by the freshness of Syrah, which adds precision to the blend. A bottle to enjoy right now. A Selection Committee favorite, rated 94/100.
