KEGS & BAG IN BOX
Some estates allow visits at specific times of year to taste different finished wines from different grapes and vineyards. In 2015, and after many trials, Jocelyn Cambier eventually created a red Cotes du Rhone wine which truly expresses the land it comes from. Last February, he did the same thing for a Cotes du Rhone Villages red 2017. Tapwines.com hopes that in the near future, both of these wines will be available in 20 liter Keykegs. For now, enjoy the bottle or the BIB.

During my trips to Europe, I sometimes discover special, unique "Selection, Cuvee or Blend" wines from independent wine estates, which, once in a while, will give me the privilege of offering those wine in kegs in a very limited volume.
