2021 Domaine de la Roche Paradis 'Les Vessettes' Saint-Joseph Blanc
The Northern White
Begin your journey through the Northern Rhône with this elegant white from Saint-Joseph. Crafted from the classic Roussanne and Marsanne blend, this wine showcases the minerality and finesse that define Northern Rhône whites. The 2021 vintage opens with aromas of white peach, honeysuckle, and almond, balanced by a distinctive granite-driven minerality. Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, the palate reveals layers of stone fruit, citrus zest, and subtle herbal notes. The finish is clean and persistent, with hints of white pepper and crushed stone. A perfect introduction to the Northern Rhône's white wine tradition, offering elegance and complexity that pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or creamy risotto.
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.
2023 Clos du Mont-Olivet, Lirac
The Southern Classic
Journey to the Southern Rhône with this classic red from the esteemed Sabon family of Clos du Mont-Olivet. A quintessential blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, this Lirac offers a beautiful expression of its terroir. Aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and wild herbs lead to a medium-bodied palate with suave tannins. Notes of black olive, baking spice, and a touch of garrigue (wild thyme and rosemary) add savory complexity. This is a powerful and structured wine, yet it maintains a sense of freshness and elegance. A perfect bridge between the aromatic whites and the powerful Gigondas to follow. Enjoy it with grilled meats or a hearty stew.
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.
