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.

Young vines yield a Cornas that opens up sooner than Clape's flagship cuvée.

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.

Exuberant, dark-fruited aromatics melding with earthy undertones of bitter cacao. Delicious now, or mind-melting in ten years.

Elegant blue and black fruit abound, but here it mingles with a hint of sanguinity and some dusty tannin.

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