Staff Pick Notes

As quirky as the label of this wine is, it was made for me, you, and Merlot lovers all around (maybe ants too if they drank wine). As a native of Provence, Jean-Marie Rimbert arrived in the Languedoc- Roussillon and worked to save up enough money to purchase his own parcels to cultivate wines with the utmost respect to the land. He works to express wines that truly represent how multi-faceted the region is as a whole.
