Les Vignerons d’Estezargues is a pioneering cooperative producer who, when everyone else was chasing volume and low price, turned it on its head and went for quality above all. Still remarkably good value their wines have all the lovely Rhône character you could hope for - warm, welcoming fruit, a touch of spice - with a lightness of touch that makes them super drinkable. Drink with suitably southern French fare such as ratatouille, daubes, simply grilled vegetables with a dollop of tapenade. Organic. Vegan
