Aromas of black pepper, briny black olive, and violets with the earthiness, herbs, and concentration of southern Rhône Grenache.

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

With lovely notes of currant and violets, this bright, crunchy wine is irresistible in its youth. Serve cool with just about anything.

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

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.

If you want to experience classic flavors of northern Rhône Syrah, here is a textbook example.

This thoroughbred wine is sculpted for the cellar but still provides a lot of immediate gratification.

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.

The greatest southern Saint-Josephs recall the wines of Hermitage, and the greatest northern examples resemble Côte-Rôtie. André’s are certainly among the finest, and always have great density despite their seeming weightlessness and elegant bouquet.

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