The kind of Saint-Jo to dig into right away: smoky, layered, lush, and laced with violet, bay leaf, and black olive.

Like eating lemon curd at a party that Renoir might have painted—think something like Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette.

This thoroughbred wine is sculpted for the cellar but still provides a lot of immediate gratification.

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

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.

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

The “Emporium” is sourced exclusively from the Fourvier lieu-dit and sees about a year more in demi-muid and barrel than his standard Côte-Rôtie.

With lovely notes of currant and violets, this bright, crunchy wine is irresistible in its youth. Serve cool with just about anything.

Young vines yield a Cornas that opens up sooner than Clape's flagship cuvée.
