Eric Texier Cotes du Rhone 'Chat Fou - Magnum Pouch' 2020

Eric Texier is a trailblazer in the Rhone region, and this gem of a release shows that he's willing to push boundaries to satisfy wine drinkers. Yes, this is wine in a bag, a magnum's worth in fact, in totally portable packaging. This is one of our top choices for the campsite because we can't imagining lugging a magnum of French wine to the trailhead, and this is easily carried in a backpack. It's 50% Grenache and 30% Cinsault topped off with a blend of white grapes. And it's tasty and high-quality. A juicy and balanced wine with tons of juicy red fruit character. It's perfect for sharing with friends and we expect that more producers will follow Texier's lead on this packaging format.
