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

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

Its ravishing perfume, luxurious body and texture, and unique abilities at table endow this Condrieu with a special place in the connoisseur’s cellar.

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

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

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

Aromas of black pepper, briny black olive, and violets with the earthiness, herbs, and concentration of southern Rhône Grenache.

Cool in the mouth, with a whiff of smoke and game, this soulful little country Syrah will do a jig with your pâtés and terrines.

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.
