Domaine Grand Nicolet Rasteau 2020

is still making excellent wines

The Domaine is small and the importer for this a tough man to get a hold of – we get it occasionally

dried herbs and a hint of mushroom

Reserve is depth and indulgence — layered

Calera has been honored by Wine & Spirits as one of the “Top 100 Wineries in the World” four times

Cos d’Estournel - the wild and crazy French chateau that features pagodas

Most are also grown using a high input of chemicals as well

All of the old vines for the wine come from the lower slope of Pommard
