This small parcel has a fruit-forward, approachable style, yet with intense spice and licorice in there as well, perhaps from the deep-rooted old Syrah vines.

The violets, tapenade, and juicy black fruit in your glass is much unchanged from how it’s always been (and should be).

From high-altitude slopes above the Rhône river, this Syrah exhibits remarkable purity and grace.

The magic of great Côte Rôtie does not come from its reputation for being a big, bombastic wine.

Elegance and restraint from one of the hill’s lesser-known terroirs.

Most of this blanc was aged in tank to preserve freshness, but the little bit that was aged in oak provides a glimmer of opulence.

May Rouge ~ This beauty is brimming and bursting with deep dark flavors of black olive, blackberry and a hint of white pepper.

It is a real-deal northern Rhône roasted-slope Syrah that walks the tightrope perfectly between creamy fruit, meaty tannins, and fresh spine.

From the classic aromas of graphite, black fruit, and roasted spice, to the total finesse of its tannins, this is Côte-Rôtie at its best.

I would say that Faury does not make Viognier, but rather one hell of a Condrieu, replete with huge apricot and peach aromas and a fresh, regal palate.
