Lavaysse “Le Petit Domaine de Gimios” Rouge de Causse (Languedoc) – 2009, according to the retailer, but this isn’t information that’s evident from the bottle. Fresh, slightly spiky fruit pushed (or rather, allowed to drift) more into reddish realms than would probably be indicated by the typically Languedoc-ish cépage, rendered lively and a bit volatile by the hands-off-everything philosophy. It’s extremely appealing, says a little bit about where it’s from, not all that much about what it’s made of, and a fair bit about who made it…though in the latter case that “fair bit” consists of a great deal of silence.
