Yves Duport "Le Marginal" Vin de France 2022

Yves Duport "Le Marginal" Vin de France 2022Chilled reds have really taken over, and I love it. When we served cold red wine in the summer at Reynard in 2013, people thought we were nuts, but here we are almost a decade later and we have a full shelf dedicated to these wonderful wines that rest between dark rose and light red. Situated in the hills of the Bugey region in northern France, Yves Duport makes super refreshing, light wines, and I would always try and horde as much of his "Celine"
