Château Rayas
The most enigmatic wine of the Southern Rhône. Hidden in sandy, shaded soils, the old Grenache vines produce a wine of haunting complexity — raspberry, white pepper, truffles, and iodine.
La Mouline
One of Guigal's legendary "La La" wines, aged 42 months in new oak. The small co-fermented Viognier addition gives extraordinary floral perfume to the powerful dark-fruited Syrah.
Hermitage Rouge
The benchmark for Hermitage. Assembled from multiple parcels on the famous granite hill, Chave's cuvée is a masterclass in blending — dark fruit, bacon, olive, and iron with 20-year longevity.
Ermitage L'Ermite
From the chapel parcel at the top of the Hermitage hill — granite soils producing Syrah of transcendent purity. Chapoutier's biodynamic approach yields a wine of extraordinary finesse and mineral tension.
Château Beaucastel
The reference estate of the Southern Rhône — all 13 permitted grape varieties planted and blended. Mourvèdre gives Beaucastel its distinctive gamey, earthy character and exceptional 30-year longevity.
Cuvée da Capo
Made only in exceptional years from the oldest, most concentrated vines. Extraordinarily rare — sometimes just a few hundred cases. A wine of staggering power and complexity from Laurence Féraud.
La Landonne
The darkest and most brooding of Guigal's "La La" wines, from the dark schist of the Côte Brune. Iron, black olive, dark fruit, and smoke — needs 15–20 years to open but achieves legendary status.
La Turque
The rarest of the three "La La" wines — just 600 cases from a single steep parcel. Between La Mouline's perfume and La Landonne's power. Named after a Turkish merchant who once owned the land.
Clos des Papes
A benchmark for elegant, restrained Châteauneuf. While many neighbours chase concentration and power, Clos des Papes emphasises finesse and freshness — resulting in wines of remarkable longevity.
La Crau
Named for the telegraph tower above the galets roulés (rounded stones) plateau. One of the most consistent estates in the appellation — spicy, structured Grenache with herbes de Provence and iron.
