2022 Saint-Joseph “Les Grisières”
André Perret
Les Grisières showcases the stately side of Syrah—it is darker, stonier, and denser than the cuvée above. In five or ten years, it will emerge from your cellar as an extremely fine Saint-Joseph, one of the best the appellation has to offer. Or if you can’t keep your hands off now, pour it into a decanter to rest for a few hours.

2023 Condrieu
France | Northern Rhône
André Perret crafts white wines of mesmerizing texture, density, and vibrant flavors of stone fruit, jasmine, tropical fruit, orange zest, and so much more.
2022 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.
2023 Vin de France Blanc “Cuvée de Louis”
France | Northern Rhône
Golden, luscious aroma and flavor, a delicious nectar infused with honeysuckle that invites you in at first sniff for a leisurely dip.
2023 Crozes-Hermitage Rouge “Passe Temps”
France | Northern Rhône
Frédéric soon had a local following in and around his village for his old-school, dark, juicy Crozes with its hints of tapenade and smoke.
2023 Saint Joseph Rouge “Les Ribaudes”
France | Northern Rhône
A testament to Lionel’s house style, Les Ribaudes is vibrant and juicy with a hint of peppery spice, and earthy minerality imprinted by its granite terroir. Old-school Saint-Joseph at its finest.
2022 Saint-Joseph Rouge
France | Northern Rhône
The greatest southern Saint-Josephs recall the wines of Hermitage, and the greatest northern examples resemble Côte-Rôtie. André’s are certainly among the finest, and always have great density despite their seeming weightlessness and elegant bouquet.
2023 Côte-Rôtie “Les 3 Brunes”
France | Northern Rhône
Exuberant, dark-fruited aromatics melding with earthy undertones of bitter cacao. Delicious now, or mind-melting in ten years.
2023 Ardèche Syrah “Syrah Mauve”
France | Northern Rhône
February Club Gourmand ~ Young vines in Mauves, short maceration, stainless-steel aged... but definitely no simple Syrah!
2022 Saint-Joseph Rouge “L’Instinct”
France | Northern Rhône
It is a real-deal northern Rhône roasted-slope Syrah that walks the tightrope perfectly between creamy fruit, meaty tannins, and fresh spine.
2023 Saint-Péray Blanc
France | Northern Rhône
With a nose of gunflint and suave Marsanne fruit, it has length and finesse; extremely limited availability
