Brett happens

Kermit Lynch reminisces and riffs in a touching tribute to Marcel Lapierre: Remembering Marcel.

Believe it or not, just like Lucien Peyraud [of Bandol’s Domaine Tempier], Marcel breathed his final breath and moved on outa here on the final day of the harvest. What can you say about that? Is it coincidence or something in the soul of a wine man? Both were giants in the backlash against technological, characterless wines. Our pleasure, those of us who enjoy wine, is deepened thanks to them.
