1997 Guigal Cote-Rotie La Mouline
The 1997 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie “La Mouline” is one of the most refined and aromatic expressions from the Northern Rhône and a key member of Guigal’s iconic “La La” trilogy alongside La Turque and La Landonne. Produced by the historic house E. Guigal, La Mouline comes from a historic, terraced vineyard in the Côte Blonde section of Côte-Rôtie, known for its lighter-colored, limestone- and granite-influenced soils that yield more perfumed, silky, and floral wines compared to the deeper, more muscular Côte Brune sites. What distinguishes La Mouline is its higher proportion of Viognier co-fermented with Syrah—typically around 11–14% depending on vintage—giving the wine its signature aromatic lift and almost Burgundian perfume. This stylistic choice makes La Mouline the most sensual and immediately expressive of the “La La” trio, while still maintaining the structure and depth expected from top Côte-Rôtie. As with all Guigal single-vineyard wines, it is aged in 100% new French oak for an extended élevage (around 42 months), contributing richness, texture, and long-term aging capacity.

1997 Guigal Cote-Rotie La Turque
The 1997 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie “La Turque” is one of the defining wines from the northern Rhône’s most famous modern producer and part of Guigal’s legendary “La La” trio (La Landonne, La Mouline, La Turque). Produced by the family-owned house E. Guigal, La Turque comes from a steep, sun-exposed parcel in the Côte Brune section of Côte-Rôtie, known for its dark, iron-rich schist soils that yield Syrah of immense depth and structure. What makes La Turque unique in the trio is its small proportion of Viognier co-fermented with Syrah (typically up to ~5%), which adds aromatic lift, silkiness, and floral complexity. The 1997 vintage in the northern Rhône was strong and relatively balanced, producing wines with good ripeness but more classic structure compared to the more massive 1999–2003 period. In Guigal’s hands, La Turque from this year shows remarkable concentration and precision. The blend is overwhelmingly Syrah with a small Viognier component, aged in 100% new French oak for an extended period (typically around 42 months), a hallmark of Guigal’s top cuvées that contributes to its signature polish and longevity.

2021 JL Chave Hermitage Rouge
We’re proud to present the 2021 J.L. Chave Hermitage Rouge, an extraordinary Syrah from the crown jewel of Northern Rhône. The Chave family’s winemaking legacy in Hermitage stretches back to 1481, uninterrupted through 16 generations. The 2021 vintage was crafted exclusively from 100% destemmed whole Syrah, aged 30 months in small tonneaux and French oak barriques, reflecting a blend-first philosophy rooted in centuries of experience . On the nose, think lush dark berries, cassis, forest floor, violets, cured meats, cracked pepper, and graphite, unfolding gracefully. The palate is elegantly structured with vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a multi-layered finish that lingers with mineral grip and floral lift. Critics agree—a blockbuster vintage: 98 points from James Suckling, who praised it as “incredibly refined, elegant, floral & silky,” while Decanter awarded 96, calling it a textbook, structural Hermitage built for longevity. This is Hermitage at its finest—grand yet graceful, powerful yet polished. Drink now with decanting, or age gracefully over the next 20+ years. A rare opportunity to own a modern masterpiece from the Rhône’s most celebrated domaine.

2021 JL Chave St Joseph Rouge
We’re delighted to present the 2021 J.L. Chave Saint‑Joseph Rouge, a powerful yet graceful Syrah from one of the most storied Rhône producers. The Chave family's winemaking legacy in Mauves stretches back to 1481, and today Jean‑Louis (16th generation) and his father Gérard continue to champion traditional, biodynamic practices across their terraced plots on the revered Hermitage hill, alongside newer Saint‑Joseph holdings. After severe frost in 2021 meant skipping the Clos Florentin cuvée, only the Saint‑Joseph was crafted—a meticulous blend of granite‑infused lieu‑dits (Bachesson, Chalaix, Dardouille, and others). Fermented using native yeasts in wood and stainless steel, then aged 15–18 months in French barriques, this cuvée delivers textbook Rhône character: vibrant black and dark red fruits, pepper, graphite and floral notes, with a refined mineral backbone. This wine is drinking well now after decanting, yet structured sufficiently to evolve through 2030, offering collectors a rare chance to enjoy a pure Saint‑Joseph from this legendary domaine.

2023 JL Chave St. Joseph Rouge "Offerus"
We are excited to offer the 2023 J.L. Chave St. Joseph Rouge “Offerus”, a wine that continues to define exceptional value and pedigree in the Northern Rhône. Crafted by Jean-Louis Chave—whose family has been producing wine in Mauves since 1481—Offerus represents a masterful expression of 100% Syrah sourced predominantly from estate-owned vineyards in the granite-rich hillsides of Saint-Joseph. Originally launched in 1995 as a négociant bottling, Offerus has evolved into a deeply personal project, with Chave overseeing both viticulture and winemaking. Grapes are harvested from cooler, high-altitude sites around Mauves, Tournon, and St-Jean-de-Muzols, with additional fruit sourced from trusted growers under Chave’s direction. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, often with 50% whole-cluster inclusion, followed by aging in a mix of neutral barrels and large oak foudres for 18 to 24 months. The result is a Syrah of structure and elegance, showing vibrant notes of blackberry, crushed rock, violets, and pepper, with a mineral backbone and finely knit tannins. The 2023 vintage offers outstanding freshness and balance—drinking beautifully now with air, but also built to develop gracefully over the next decade. This is classic Northern Rhône Syrah at a compelling price from one of the most revered names in the region.
