I would note that the 2014 is labeled “Cotes du Rhône” on the back label, while the 2016 is labeled “Lirac”, which I understand changed when the West Coast importer told the winemaker that labeling it Lirac (it IS and always was located within the Lirac AOC) would allow for higher selling prices in the U.S. — I am not certain which vintage the changeover from CdR to Lirac occurred.

Weird that a ‘22 is already on the downslope. Off bottle?

@Tom Casagrande, I’d guess an off bottle as well.

I’m unfamiliar with this producer. Will keep an eye out. What was the alc. %?
Doug Powers

@Tom Casagrande, it was 14.2%. No idea whether there is an East Coast importer, I’ve been getting the wines from my brother. Christian, the proprietor (this is the family property), was the cellar master at Mont Redon and then La Nerthe in CdP for many years before retiring to run l’Amauve.
