"If you want the truest of Côte-Rôties... "
2015 Levet Côte Rôtie La Chavaroche

Levet's Chavaroche is unapologetically raw, stunningly pure and beautiful. These are some of the most unique and exciting Côte Rôties around. They combine wildness with a breeding that's incredible.

Clarity and Finesse in the Northern Rhône:

Grange des Péres' Laurent Vaillé spent time with JF Coche, Gerard Chave and Trévallon's Eloi Durrbach. After that, he took some dynamite and started blasting into hard limestone to plant a vineyard.

"The Brune is consistently one of the best wines made at Côte Rôtie." -John Livingstone-Learmonth, The Wines of the Northern Rhône If you love classic Côte-Rôtie, Jamet is the name to know. For decades, Jamet has been the benchmark of Côte-Rôtie.

2015 Paris Cornas Granit 30

“Grab northern Rhône 2015 reds with both hands.” -Jancis Robinson The 2015 vintage will cement Vincent Paris' reputation as one of the most exciting young winemakers of the Northern Rhône.

The Essence of Cornas:
2014 Clape Cornas

For over half a century, Auguste Clape’s wines have captured so much of what's essential in Cornas. Clape’s Cornas gets to the beating heart of the appellation’s intensely dark and savory side. The wines are wildly complex and utterly compelling expressions of Cornas. 

Cornas Surprise: 2014 Pacalet Cornas

This is Cornas like you've never tasted it before. It's hard to imagine an expression of Cornas so faithful to the appellation, yet so removed from its usual expression.
