2019 Rene Rostaing Les Lezardes Rouge 2019 Rene Rostaing Les Lezardes Rouge Fresh, fine, balanced and drinkable 2019 wine. Good grip and power on the finish. Remarkably bright acidity. Very strict, gently saline. From vineyards around Ampuis but just outside of AOC Côte-Rôtie. Some young vines, some old. Two thirds whole bunch. Syrah is a [...]
Condrieu is one of the most exotic and distinctive wines in the world with its intense aromatics and flavors of apricots white peach and citrus and its luscious almost umami body. It happens to come from a dramatically steep area and one so small that were it not for several influential people Marcel Guigal among [...]

We consider Guigal’s Gigondas the “quiet storm” among their village wines. While they have been widely known for their Chateauneuf-du Pape also produced in the Southern Rhone and they are increasingly important in Crozes-Hermitage in the North the Gigondas is the wine that when poured jumps up and down and demands attention. It’s a wine [...]

Wet leather and earthy on the nose and oaky and dark fruit on the palate. Strong astringency with long finish. Guigal is synonymous with the Côte-Rôtie area, for bringing this [...]
“...is really charming, sexy stuff. Soaring florals emerge from the glass, accompanied by notes of dark fruit, espresso and grilled meat. Silky and seductive, it should drink well young yet be capable of developing for 20 years.”
