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

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

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.

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

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

Delicate and perfumed, it speaks softly, yet it has so much to say: lilies, bacon fat, spices... it could only be Côte Rôtie.

Dark and earthy with an inky grip, it offers the region’s renowned refinement with a more approachable price tag.

If you want to experience classic flavors of northern Rhône Syrah, here is a textbook example evoking velvety blackberry fruit, cracked pepper, and crushed schist stone.

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

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.
