Favorite and 92/100 RVF. The great red from the domaine. For this aptly named and inspired cuvée, the gamay saint-romain is vinified in amphorae, just like in the good old days of the Greeks, to bring it roundness and finesse. Diogenes' philosophy is also not foreign to the choice of this cuvée name: focusing on the healthy and the natural, without seeking the vain honors... The simplicity of substance above all, far from "appearance".

Domaine des Pothiers Côte Roannaise "Diogène" red 2022

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (August 2023): Favorite and 92/100. The amphora aging of Diogène suits sunny vintages well. The tannin grain nuances the generosity of the vintage, giving a lot of flair to the whole.
