2020 Côte Rôtie “Les Roses”
Barruol Lynch

The magic of great Côte Rôtie does not come from its reputation for being a big, bombastic wine. In fact, what you’re looking for is a balance of the wild, meaty, earthy characteristics, with the graceful aromas of—like the name of this particular wine—roses. Do not be fooled. Syrah with restraint gives the most depth, complexity, and aging potential.
The 2020 is a blend of three different lieux-dits: Rosier, Grand Vigne, and Tilleuil.

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

2020 Saint Joseph Blanc

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.

2019 Condrieu “Chéry”
France | Northern Rhône
A top site in Condrieu interpreted by one of the appellation’s masters—simply put, one of the greatest expressions of the Viognier grape on earth.
