The “Emporium” is sourced exclusively from the Fourvier lieu-dit and sees about a year more in demi-muid and barrel than his standard Côte-Rôtie.

The 2023 falls perfectly in line with the house style: there is not a single sharp edge, only tender, succulent, ripe peachy fruit, plus a touch of honeysuckle to round things out.

Amid the lush fruit runs a delicate current of minerality that lingers on the tongue, as if the wine cascaded down a granite slope on its way into your glass.

Elegant blue and black fruit abound, but here it mingles with a hint of sanguinity and some dusty tannin.

The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.

Majestically dark and brooding Cornas, layered with aromas of herbs and mint. Extremely limited availability

The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.

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.

It is a real-deal northern Rhône roasted-slope Syrah that walks the tightrope perfectly between creamy fruit, meaty tannins, and fresh spine.

This thoroughbred wine is sculpted for the cellar but still provides a lot of immediate gratification.
