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.

Exuberant, dark-fruited aromatics melding with earthy undertones of bitter cacao. Delicious now, or mind-melting in ten years.

Made from six vineyards that, when blended, showcase the whole of the Côte Rôtie appellation.

From vines that are more than eighty years old comes this Marsanne with magnificent floral, pit fruit, and bitter notes.

Yearning for northern Rhône magic? Here you go. Pull a cork or more and see what I mean.

A testament to Lionel’s house style, Les Ribaudes is vibrant and juicy with a hint of peppery spice, and earthy minerality imprinted by its granite terroir. Old-school Saint-Joseph at its finest.

With a nose of gunflint and suave Marsanne fruit, it has length and finesse; extremely limited availability

Young vines in Mauves, short maceration, stainless-steel aged... but definitely no simple Syrah!

Majestically dark and brooding Cornas, layered with aromas of herbs and mint. Extremely limited availability

Amid the lush fruit runs a delicate current of minerality that lingers on the tongue, as if the wine cascaded down a granite slope on its way into your glass.
