2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge
André Perret
Marie Perret and her father, André, are magicians with the Viognier grape, but the skilled Perret hand is not limited to white wines. They also grow a bit of Syrah on vertiginous granite terraces flanking the Rhône, crafting a red Saint-Joseph that allies brooding dark fruit with a delicate touch. Smoked meat and tapenade soar from the glass, and if that sounds like a good pairing for lamb, it certainly is. I’d go for grilled chops on a nice day and opt for a roast shoulder or leg when it starts getting nippy out. Don’t hold back on the garlic!

2024 Saint-Joseph Blanc
France | Northern Rhône
This blanc is befittingly made from only Marsanne, with subtle, but not shy notes of stony peach, orange blossom, and pear.
2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Terre Blanche”
France | Northern Rhône
Elegant blue and black fruit abound, but here it mingles with a hint of sanguinity and some dusty tannin.
2022 Cornas
France | Northern Rhône
Majestically dark and brooding Cornas, layered with aromas of herbs and mint. Extremely limited availability
2022 Saint-Joseph “Les Grisières”
France | Northern Rhône
Showcasing the stately side of Syrah—dark, stony and dense. In five or ten years, it will emerge from your cellar as an extremely fine Saint-Joseph, one of the best the appellation has to offer.
2001 Côte-Rôtie
France | Northern Rhône
**Extremely limited quantities, maximum two bottles per purchase.**
2024 Saint-Joseph Blanc “Les Ribaudes”
France | Northern Rhône
There is not a single sharp edge, only tender, succulent, ripe peachy fruit, plus a touch of honeysuckle to round things out.
2021 Côte-Rôtie
France | Northern Rhône
The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.
2024 Crozes-Hermitage Rouge
France | Northern Rhône
This small parcel has a fruit-forward, approachable style, yet with intense spice and licorice in there as well, perhaps from the deep-rooted old Syrah vines.
2024 Saint-Joseph Blanc “Clef de Sol”
France | Northern Rhône
This perfect mix of acidity and unctuous texture gives persistent floral notes with a long almond finish.
2024 Côte-Rôtie “Les Roses”
France | Northern Rhône
Delicate and perfumed, it speaks softly, yet it has so much to say: lilies, bacon fat, spices... it could only be Côte Rôtie.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
