Rock-solid and shines in the vintage. Brought up all in older oak (Jean-Louis stated that he doesn't think Saint Josephs like oak) and offers plenty of darker, mineral, and smoked earth notes that slowly open up with more red fruits and spice. It's beautifully elegant and silky on the palate, with ample mid-palate heft, medium to full body, and sweet tannins.

This is perhaps the world's best rustic-style saison. Brewed with barley & spelt, a primitive form of wheat, this is a true sense of mastery. Incredibly complex and delicate with lemon peel, hay, white pepper, chartreuse, fresh cracked malt, lilac, and lemongrass. It's bone dry with a beautifully tight effervescence that leaves a long, dreamy finish.

It is blended as an approachable, generous wine and intended to over-deliver for its price. At the same time though it retains the seriousness of its underlying terroir with great elegance, depth and character.

As bright and fresh as the countryside of its origin, this Provençial sparkler with a rosy hue is the perfect compliment to brunch and picnics (park, rooftop or living room.) 100% Grenache, with a rich, creamy mousse, this strawberry scented rosé is uplifting and transporting. Yum.

The opening aroma is atypical but following aeration the aroma becomes more of a customary Armagnac perfume as scents of sweet oak, prunes, cocoa, spice and raisins meld. The palate entry is assertive, sweet and raisiny; at midpalate a brief flash of spirit is followed by fat flavors of sautéed butter, almond paste, nougat and dark honey. Aftertaste is rich, long and sweet.
