Majestically dark and brooding Cornas, layered with aromas of herbs and mint. Extremely limited availability

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.

Delicate and perfumed, it speaks softly, yet it has so much to say: lilies, bacon fat, spices... it could only be Côte Rôtie.

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

Yearning for northern Rhône magic? Here you go. Pull a cork or more and see what I mean.

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.

The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.

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.
