On the western edge of the Cotes-du-Rhone appellation, Les Vignerons d’Estezargues cooperative has produced wine for all the vine growers of the village for generations, and holds unusually high standards for viticulture and wine making. All their wines are organically farmed and vinified without cultured yeast, fining, filtration, or sulfur until bottling. Jean-Marie Granier’s Domaine la Montagnette is one of the most important producers of the cooperative and the mayor of Estezargues. His rustic-yet-refined Cotes du Rhone Signargues is a note perfect example of the region. A classic blend of 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 15% Mourvedre, the wine offers aromas of stewed strawberries and raspberries, dried cherries and figs, flourish with a big burst of cinnamon and a waft of barbecue smoke. The palate is full and ripe, with building tannins and enough acidity to keep flavors fresh. Black and blue berries, strawberries and cherries cooked down, with touches of cracked earth and garrigue. A hearty wine for dishes that are cooked over an open flame.
