Embark on a guided exploration of the Rhône Valley's diverse terroirs with this exclusive Master Selection Four pack, personally curated by our Master Sommelier. Each wine reveals a distinct facet of this legendary region—moving from elegant Northern white Viognier to powerful Southern Syrah-Grenache blends.
2023 Domaine Christophe Pichon, Condrieu
The Northern Jewel
Begin with the Northern Rhône's most luxurious white. Christophe Pichon crafts this Condrieu from 100% Viognier on steep granite slopes. The 2023 opens with white flowers, ripe apricot, and exotic spice. The palate reveals Condrieu's signature richness—stone fruit, candied ginger, and toasted almond—balanced by remarkable freshness and minerality. The finish lingers with white pepper and citrus. Viognier at its most expressive—aromatic, voluptuous, refined. Pair with lobster or roasted chicken.
2019 Stephane Ogier, Condrieu "La Combe De Malleval"
The Single Vineyard Pinnacle
Continue with the ultimate Condrieu expression. Stéphane Ogier's single-vineyard bottling from ancient granite soils showcases extraordinary concentration—ripe pear, quince, and tropical fruit with saffron, vanilla, and crushed stone. Simultaneously rich and precise, with honeyed fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and pronounced minerality. Silky yet structured, opulent yet elegant. The finish extends with toasted hazelnut and white truffle. This demonstrates why Condrieu ranks among the world's greatest white wine appellations. Perfect with seared scallops or lobster risotto.
2021 Famille Perrin, 'Les Cornuds' Vinsobres
The Southern Gateway
Transition to the Southern Rhône with this exceptional village wine from the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel. This Grenache-Syrah blend from prestigious Vinsobres opens with vibrant red cherry and wild strawberry, layered with garrigue herbs—thyme, rosemary, lavender. Beautiful balance between ripe fruit and savory complexity, with black olive, cracked pepper, and sun-baked earth. Medium-bodied with silky tannins, capturing Southern Rhône's Mediterranean essence. Perfect with grilled lamb or ratatouille.
2022 Grand Montmirail, Gigondas "Les Deux Juliette"
The Power of the South
Conclude with the Southern Rhône's most structured expression. This Gigondas from the Dentelles de Montmirail bursts with concentrated blackberry, black cherry, and plum, accented by licorice, dried herbs, and mineral edge from clay-limestone soils. Grenache at its most powerful, blended with Syrah and Mourvèdre for backbone. Impressive depth with tobacco, leather, and baking spices. Firm yet refined tannins promise excellent aging. The perfect crescendo. Ideal with braised short ribs or wild boar.
