I hope that this finds you well – and that the memories of your time en Provence (and in particular the wonderful wines that you tasted here) are still fresh and vibrant.
The festive season is fast approaching, and so, following the success of last year’s offer, I have curated three new mixed cases featuring a carefully balanced selection of Rhône wines that are ready to drink now.

Southern Rhône Selection
8 reds, 3 whites & 1 full bodied rosé
30 cases available
USA Zone 1 shipped: 520 euros
USA Zone 2 shipped: 550 euros
This hand-picked selection has been specially curated to accompany a range of festive dishes (shell fish, roasted fowl and beef, cheese and dessert) and includes three wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, two from Gigondas and a selection from other well-loved Rhône vineyards such as Cairanne, Vacqueyras, Rasteau, Lirac and Séguret. It includes three fresh, supple whites and a fabulous full-bodied rosé from Tavel.
Each wine has been grown organically so as to better express the specificity of its terroir. This virtual wine tour through the rolling hills of the Southern Rhône evokes the sun-soaked vineyards, intense flavours and subtle aromas of Provence. Some vintages go back as far as 2016, allowing these generous reds to offer up the fullest expression of their unique terroir.
Southern Rhône Biodynamic Selection
8 reds, 3 whites & 1 full bodied rosé
12 cases available
USA Zone 1 shipped: 540 euros
USA Zone 2 shipped: 570 euros
This unique Biodynamic offering includes two wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape and a selection from other Rhône vineyards such as Gigondas, Rasteau, Lirac, Vaison-la-Romaine, and Séguret, in addition to a complex, gastronomic rosé from Tavel. Biodynamic wine-growing is a holistic approach to viticulture and winemaking that emphasizes the interconnectedness of every aspect of the growing process, harnessing rather then seeking to control the powerful energies of nature. In other words it places the emphasis on the natural rhythm of the seasons and the moon’s cycles and on interfering as little as possible with the soil and the natural growth of the vines. This philosophy goes beyond traditional organic farming practices, for it views the vineyard and the wine grower as one harmonious, unified ecosystem, with the grower as guardian of the terroir, gently coaxing the vines to produce a pure, natural and wonderfully authentic expression of their terroir.
Châteauneuf-du Pape Selection
9 reds, 3 whites
18 cases available
USA Zone 1 shipped: 690 euros
USA Zone 2 shipped: 720 euros
An exclusive ensemble that reveals the rich, diverse terroir of this noblest and most renowned of the Southern Rhône crus. I have carefully chosen library wines from 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2019 to showcase this venerable wine at optimum maturity.
In addition to several single plot and single varietal old-vine Grenache wines and a rare Syrah wine, this case includes classic varietal and terroir blends. I have selected three elegant white Châteauneufs, each with a different character, as the perfect accompaniment to a range of dishes, such as fish, poultry and goat’s cheese. This selection will allow you to appreciate the full range and expression of Châteauneuf’s unique and complex terroir.
NB: although the cut-off date for shipping is November 15th , to avoid disappointment please reserve your cases(s) as soon as possible, as stocks are strictly limited.
I look forward to hearing from you – and to shipping some of these wonderful wines directly to your home in the near future.
