2008 Montirius “Le Cadet” Bag in Box; Vin des Pays de Vaucluse; France

montiviusBoxWeb.jpgHave you ever needed a cup of red wine for a dish but you didn’t want to open a full bottle? Has your doctor told you to drink a glass or two of red wine every day for your heart but you stopped doing it because the wine didn't taste the same the next day due to the oxidation. Once you open one of these boxes you’ll have one month to enjoy the wine, one glass at a time, in the same fresh state as when it was first opened.

 

The Montirius vineyards, organic since 1990 and certified biodynamic since 1999.

This blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Merlot is a serious effort from a small parcel of vines grown at the foot of the Plateau des Garrigues, a large glacial deposit much like the Châteauneuf deposit but further from the Rhône River (so with much smaller galets, or stones), that curves around the village of Vacqueyras. The 2008 “Le Cadet” is an outstanding wine with terrific fruit (raspberries, cherries, currants, spice box, and pepper), medium to full body, good acidity, and a refreshing finish. This represents a terrific value!

$39.99 per 3 Liter box or $101.97/case ($33.99) The equivalent of 4 bottles.
