A friendly, versatile wine. Good for meals hot off the grill, for Moroccan lamb stews, for any given Friday night with friends. This is a rustic, ribald southern Rhone wine that manages to be both hearty and refreshing at the same time. The Thibon family have been farming their domaine for generations, and they embraced a sustainable, organic farming philosophy in the 1970s, many years before the rest of the vine-growing world caught on. Their stone-strewn vineyards are at the wilder northwestern edge of the Cotes-du-Rhone appellation, with a sweeping view over the whole valley, where they make wines filled with the earthy savor that hangs heavy in the Southern Rhone air. In this entry tier wine, there are aromas of smoked meat, of lavender and jasmine, cacao nibs, blackberry jam, and dry soil. The palate contains impressive depth: rich black fruit, dark chocolate, tilled earth, and a few peels of orange. While the wine is pretty full bodied, the way most wines made from Grenache and Syrah are, the Bout d’Zan never sits still, so the finishing impression is energetic and refreshing. A wine to keep the conversation going.
