2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge
Domaine Monier Perréol
What a beauty! The color is black with gorgeous purple and ruby hues around the rim. Jean-Pierre Monier farms all his vines organically and biodynamically, producing an old-school Saint-Joseph on high-altitude slopes above the Rhône river. This Syrah exhibits remarkable purity and grace.

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 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Terre Blanche”
France | Northern Rhône
Elegant blue and black fruit abound, but here it mingles with a hint of sanguinity and some dusty tannin.

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.

2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Châtelet”
France | Northern Rhône
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.

2021 Cornas “Renaissance”
France | Northern Rhône
Young vines yield a Cornas that opens up sooner than Clape's flagship cuvée.

2023 Saint-Joseph Blanc “Clef de Sol”
France | Northern Rhône
This thoroughbred wine is sculpted for the cellar but still provides a lot of immediate gratification.

2022 Saint Joseph Rouge “La Gloriette Vieilles Vignes”
France | Northern Rhône
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.

2023 Collines Rhodaniennes Viognier “Les Ruisseaux”
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.

2022 Côte-Rôtie
France | Northern Rhône
The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.

2020 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”
France | Northern Rhône
Elegance and restraint from one of the hill’s lesser-known terroirs.

About The Producer
Domaine Monier Perréol
Jean-Pierre Monier is as happy and as grateful a vigneron as one finds. His small production wines certainly have not made him wealthy (far from it), but his effortless calm and quiet conviction give him an enviable air of simplicity. He is the third generation to be farming in Brunieux, a lieu-dit in the hills above the village of St-Désirat in the Northern Rhône. Like his forefathers, wine is only part of his farm’s overall production. Apricot orchards complement the vineyards, and everything is farmed biodynamically. With only five hectares of land, all on high altitude slopes, one might question the interest in working by such stringent standards; for a joyful artisan like Jean-Pierre, purity and authenticity are paramount.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
