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

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

The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.

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

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

From high-altitude slopes above the Rhône river, this Syrah exhibits remarkable purity and grace.

From the classic aromas of graphite, black fruit, and roasted spice, to the total finesse of its tannins, this is Côte-Rôtie at its best.

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

The nearly 120 years that Bastien Jolivet’s small plot of Syrah vines have spent drawing sustenance deep from the granite soils of Saint-Joseph have left a steely stamp on Jolivet’s Cuvée 1907.

This perfect mix of acidity and unctuous texture gives persistent floral notes with a long almond finish.
