Rhone
We are pleased to offer one of the most diverse selections of wine from France's Rhone Valley.
2022 Charvin - Chateauneuf du Pape (PRE ARRIVAL)
Tasted from multiple samples (as well as a final blend), the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape is going to be a beauty. All of the samples had a Grand Cru Red Burgundy-like style in their mouthfeel and structure. With more red fruits as well as lots of rose, viole...
2022 Charvin - Cotes du Rhone (PRE ARRIVAL)
Consistently a terrific Côtes Du Rhône that ages gracefully, the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Le Poutet should be outstanding. Rose petals, violets, ground pepper, and crunchy red and black fruits define this medium-bodied, fresh, focused, elegant wine, which has ...
2021 Chave - Hermitage Blanc
Vinified from grapes that were harvested as late as the 26th of September, the 2021 L'Hermitage Blanc was cropped at 38 hL/ha, above the levels of 2022. It dazzles with vivid spring blossom, honeysuckle, lemon peel, white peach, quince, apricot and dis...
2021 Chave - Hermitage Rouge MAGNUM (1.5L)
More in the mold of the 2014, the 2021 Hermitage is a ripe, polished, beautifully balanced Hermitage that doesn't have the depth and concentration of a great vintage, yet shines for its elegance, balance, and overall sense of class. Red and black fruits, ...

2021 Chave - Saint-Joseph Estate
The 2021s here are certainly strong wines in the vintage. The 2021 Saint Joseph is a healthy dense ruby/purple hue and offers textbook Saint Joseph aromas and flavors of black fruit (there's a hint of red fruit as well), graphite, ground pepper, and some ...
2019 Chave - Hermitage Blanc
Another incredible white from this family is the 2019 Hermitage Blanc, a powerful, concentrated, and remarkably pure Hermitage that has laser-like focus as well as textbook Marsanne notes of quince, green almond, powdered rock, licorice, and spice. It’s s...

2019 Chave, Yann - Hermitage Rouge
A complex bouquet evokes ripe blackberry, cherry compote, licorice and violet, energized by a spicy cracked pepper nuance. Broad and fleshy in the mouth, offering densely packed, smoke-tinged black/blue fruit, exotic spice and floral pastille flavors that...
2020 Clape - Cornas
The flagship 2020 Cornas is a beauty! Clearly in the same league as recent top vintages, it has a wild bouquet of black and blue fruits, liquid violets, game, and iron, with some incense and spice thrown in for good measure. It's slightly more round and s...
