“ESPECTACLE” is not an easy wine to taste. Not because of the style – on the contrary, it is one of the most ‘drinkable’ of the world’s cult wines – but because it is so difficult to find an open bottle !
So when René sent us a bottle of the 2011 ESPECTACLE, and invited us to taste it among ourselves, we not only jumped on the occasion, but spread it out over nearly 24 hours…
Being a wine producer is hard work , with long hours and few breaks in the year. So you can forgive our partner vignerons for taking advantage of the quietest month in their cycle – August – for some much needed R & R before the craziness of harvest hits them ! Please note that orders cannot be prepared and shipped during these summer closures, so let us know quickly if you will be requiring wine from producers who are closing this summer :
