The Northern Rhône has been on a roll of incredible vintages since 2015, so it is no surprise that the region is garnering ever more interest each year. This is the homeland of Syrah and Viognier, producing some of the truly great wines of France, if not the world. What is particularly refreshing about the wines of the Northern Rhône is that they are often so well-priced. For many they continue to fall slightly under the radar, resulting in fantastic value for money for the savvy buyer.
2019, despite being a hot year, has produced some wines of ethereal elegance but with the hallmark power these wines are famed for. Confusingly, but understandably in a region encompassing many different styles of wine, we will also be offering the 2018 vintage reds from Domaine Duclaux, a mix of 2019 and 2020 Condrieu wines from outstanding producers as well as the late releases from Gaylord Machon in Crozes Hermitage.
These latest releases are impressive across the board, wines that will delight you over the years ahead.
Some of these cuvées are extremely limited due to climatic conditions and tiny, precarious vineyard holdings – if you want them in your cellar, now is the time to strike and take advantage of these opening offer prices.
The wines will arrive in the UK this Autumn (2021) except for the Gilles Robin Hermitage (2022).
