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

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.

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.

Full of finesse, it opens into black cherry fruits and plentiful violet, soft leather notes playing around the edges.

This cuvée is sourced exclusively from the Fongeant lieu-dit, which sits right on the border of the Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, and is renowned for sharing the best of both: tannins and structure from the Brune side, with silky, floral elegance provided by the Blonde.

This juicy, blueberry-and-leather-infused Syrah with a long finish is ready to drink tonight.

Rich and powerful black and blue fruit accompanied by bacon fat, licorice, and herbs.

This is everything I love in a great northern Rhône Syrah. Aromas of violet and smoke are intensified with the luxuriously full and stony finish.

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

The depth, complexity, and crushed-stone minerality of a great Côte-Rôtie, all while maintaining inviting youthful fruit.
