2021 Côte-Rôtie “Les Roses”
Barruol / Lynch
Restrained in comparison with the more flamboyant Crozes, but on another level of refinement. It speaks softly, yet it has so much to say: lilies, bacon fat, spices...it could only be Côte Rôtie. Delicate and perfumed, it is ready now. Simple preparations of quality ingredients will highlight all the detailed nuances of this fine Syrah.

2021 Cornas “Renaissance”
France | Northern Rhône
Young vines yield a Cornas that opens up sooner than Clape's flagship cuvée.

France | Northern Rhône
Elegance and restraint from one of the hill’s lesser-known terroirs.

2021 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”
France | Northern Rhône
A thick perfume of dry-aged meat, smoke, and violets preface a wine that is powerful, but in perfect proportion.
About The Producer
Barruol / Lynch
Louis Barruol is an indefatigable force in the Rhône, the 14th generation in his family to be making wine in Gigondas. On what was once the site of a Roman villa, Louis’ cellars show spectacular remains of Roman vinification vats carved into the limestone. Here, Louis works with different grape varietals from the Rhône, vinifying each parcel separately. He’s taken to acting as a micro-négociant, working with top growers in the region who still work with Sérine. Producing only a few precious barrels of each cuvée, Louis is helping to save the authenticity and identity of old Côte Rôtie parcels. Together, he and Kermit blend our Northern Rhône wines and a Southern Côtes du Rhône Blanc and Rouge from a selection of Louis’ purchases.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
