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.
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.
