A potential gem from Côtes du Rhône?
I've just ordered a case of this from FromVineYardsDirect.com.
It's called Domaine les Grands Bois Cuvée Maximilien Cairanne.
It LOOKS quite it could be amazing value at £11.75 a bottle.
It even claims a 92 Parker score on the retailers website.
I couldn't find the actual wine reviewed to this level on his site, when logging in as a subscriber. Some that sounded very close had scores in the 80's and 90's, so that was good enough for me to order a case.
However, I can't believe the guys who run FromVineYardsDirect.com would say it if it wasn't true. I say this having looked at their bios on the website.
I'll report back on how it tastes when I've opened a bottle later this week.
