2015 Domaine Chambeyron La Chavarine Cote Rotie Rhone Valley France 750 ml

91-93 Point Cote Rotie—Just $50!

The greatest wines of the Rhône Valley have been skyrocketing in price for years now, and demand for them shows no sign of abating. Among out favorites, year after year, is the Domaine Chambeyron La Chavarine Côte Rôtie, a blend of Syrah from vineyards with inclines of up to 60% and with an average age of 50-plus years.

As much as we’ve wanted to feature it here, however, we have never been able to secure enough to offer to our main audience. Which is why we’re including our tiny allocation right here, and for the best price in the nation by more than 40%: Because we know that our customers will appreciate this magnificent wine, and we want to give you the opportunity to experience its rare magic for yourself. Vinous adored its “suggestion of smoky Indian spices” and “juicy, supple and concentrated [palate], offering intense cassis and bitter cherry flavors that become sweeter as the wine opens up.”

We couldn’t stop talking about its wild character of herbs, flowers, and spice anchored by brambly fruits and a pulse of minerality.

For fans of the Rhône Valley, this is a unique opportunity to own a wine as deeply tied to the region as any—the family has been working this land since the replanting from phylloxera in the 19th century—and from a vintage that Decanter described as “deserving of its early tag as one to match the best years of the 20th Century in the Northern Rhône.” We just wish we had more to offer, because when it’s gone…that’s it.
