Château Margüi 2007 Rolle (Coteaux Varois)
-
$27
This wine is entirely barrel-fermented and aged, and it shows in its toasty, smoky aromas and rich texture. Touches of honey, peach and melon testify to the ripeness of the fruit, which is 90% Rolle, 10% Ugni Blanc. Despite the wine’s richness, it retains its focus, picking up a bit of chalky minerality on the finish.

Château Margüi 2007 Rosé (Coteaux Varois)
-
$20
A 50-50 blend of Cinsault and Grenache, this is a medium-bodied, plump, succulent rosé, hinting at grapefruit and underripe peaches. It’s nicely balanced, with a long, slightly minerally finish. Drink now.
