2018 Rhône

There’s 10% Viognier in the blend here, and this gives a floral, delicate character to this Côte-Rôtie. There’s plenty of vibrancy to this wine, from the south of the appellation.

From vines planted in 1911, this is intense and concentrated. There’s such a wonderful balance between nervy acidity and dark cassis notes. Intense and powerful. One for the long haul.

There’s a delicacy of fruit to this Crozes-Hermitage. Lots of red berries and liquorice, with a lovely balance of purity and power. Excellent for the price.

From the north of the appellation, with 3% Viognier in the blend, this is a real Syrah lover’s wine. Very mineral, with tension and purity, it’s so stony on the finish.

From old ‘serine’ clones of the Syrah grape including a plot of 60 year old vines in Chavanay, where the cellar is located. This is deep and intense, with lovely grip on the finish.
