Chateau Vilatte is a long-time organic producer and is just 6 kilometers from Chateau Le Puy (another store favorite). Most of their production is focused on white Bordeaux, but they also long age and late release their entry level Bordeaux Rouge. This brings to the market a wine that is "pret a boire" meaning "ready to drink." The "latest" release is 2016. Amazing gem of a wine that is ready to go, delicious, full plushness in feel, and juicy. Dried currants and red plums For the red wine drinker who just can’t get enough of a deeply satisfying value red. An incredible value at $19
