Cool in the mouth, with a whiff of smoke and game, this soulful little country Syrah will do a jig with your pâtés and terrines.

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

A thick perfume of dry-aged meat, smoke, and violets preface a wine that is powerful, but in perfect proportion.

The roots of these vines run deep, and deep is what you get in the glass, too—a rich mix of black olive, fennel, and raspberry.

From vines that are more than eighty years old comes this Marsanne with magnificent floral, pit fruit, and bitter notes.

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

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.

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.

The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.

The kind of Saint-Jo to dig into right away: smoky, layered, lush, and laced with violet, bay leaf, and black olive.
