$65.00Add to cartAlain is a legend in the Rhône. He rewrote the rule book on what great wines from southern France could be. Today led Alberic Mazoyer (who worked for Chapoutier) who still makes incredibly dense and layered wines using organic and biodynamic viticulture.

Gour du Chaule Gigondas Cuvee Tradition 2021
$49.00Add to cartA very pretty Gigondas from a longtime winemaking family. Blended from a few sites with an average age of well over half a century in age that have very low yields. The wine is aged in large oak foudres where it stays to be bottled unfined and unfiltered a full three years after harvest. It’s balanced but sturdy and has sweet tannins and aromatic, meaty spice.

Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2021
$145.00Add to cartAccording to importer Kermit Lynch, “One cannot think of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the most celebrated cru of the southern Rhône, without thinking of Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe.” The Brunier family has farmed the La Crau plateau for over a hundred years to make their iconic grenache forward wines.
The wines of Vieux Telegraphe are classic, displaying strength, rusticity, earthiness, and tremendous longevity like a great Chateauneuf should. The blend of old-vine fruit from La Crau, imparts incredible depth, concentration, and fresh minerality. Their goal, which they uniformly achieve, is to find a harmony between aromatic complexity, tannic structure, and richness. A stupendous wine.

$39.00Add to cartA classic northern Rhone Syrah made from organic grapes that drinks above its price point.
This cuvée is a blend of the estate’s parcels in the villages of La Roche de Glun, Mercurol and Pont de l’Isère. From this broad palette of Syrah terroirs, the wine they made is a marker of the vintage in the appellation: fruit forward, bright, and elegant.

Yves Cuilleron Viognier Les Vignes d’a Cote 2023
$33.00Add to cartThe Viognier Vignes d’à Coté, meaning “nearby vines” is from a sustainable vineyard close to the Condrieu appellation. This 100% Viognier is aromatic and is further intensified a few months in oak.
This is an excellent introduction to Viognier with the tell-tale aromas of apricot, nectarine and floral honeysuckle on the nose. The palate is fleshy and ripe, with excellent acidity. Simply put this is a delicious, mouth-watering Viognier from one of the top producers in the Rhone.
