2022 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Châtelet”
Domaine Monier![- Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant](https://s3.amazonaws.com/efcheckout/kermitlynch/products/Kermit-Lynch-Wine-Merchant-2022-SaintJoseph-emRougeem-Chtelet-product-image-9638-medium.jpg)
Hailing from a single vineyard high up on the hill above Saint-Désirat, at the middle point of the Saint-Joseph appellation, this cuvée dials up the fragrance and elegance of Monier-Pérreol’s Saint-Joseph. Floral and lithe, this would pair beautifully with grilled venison or beef stew.

France | Northern Rhône
Amid the lush fruit runs a delicate current of minerality that lingers on the tongue, as if the wine cascaded down a granite slope on its way into your glass.

2020 Côte-Rôtie “Les Roses”
France | Northern Rhône
Layered and textural, this tightly bound opus will open and unfurl itself with time, be it an hour in a decanter or decades in the cellar.

2022 Saint-Joseph Blanc “Clef de Sol”
France | Northern Rhône
Round and generous on first blush and then wound up, energetic, and fine-grained on the finish, this thoroughbred wine is sculpted for the cellar but still provides a lot of immediate gratification.

2022 Saint-Joseph Rouge

From high-altitude slopes above the Rhône river, this Syrah exhibits remarkable purity and grace.

2022 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
France | Northern Rhône
This one is spice- and mineral-driven, speckled with black pepper and dark hunks of dusty granite. It is nearly all terroir with a touch of tart blackberry to fill in the spaces.

2022 Condrieu
France | Northern Rhône
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.

2018 Hermitage Blanc “La Pierrelle”
France | Northern Rhône
Classic Hermitage Marsanne with lychee, nectarine, white flowers, and a focused minerality that provides a solid backbone. It’s so pretty!

2022 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.

2020 Crozes-Hermitage Rouge
France | Northern Rhône
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.

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.
