This one is spice- and mineral-driven, speckled with black pepper and dark hunks of dusty granite. It is nearly all terroir with a touch of tart blackberry to fill in the spaces.

Like eating lemon curd at a party that Renoir might have painted—think something like Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette.

Majestically dark and brooding Cornas, layered with aromas of herbs and mint. Extremely limited availability

Delicate and perfumed, it speaks softly, yet it has so much to say: lilies, bacon fat, spices... it could only be Côte Rôtie.

Aromas of black pepper, briny black olive, and violets with the earthiness, herbs, and concentration of southern Rhône Grenache.

This cuvée is sourced exclusively from the Fongeant lieu-dit, which sits right on the border of the Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, and is renowned for sharing the best of both.

Young vines yield a Cornas that opens up sooner than Clape's flagship cuvée.

It tastes like the grapes were prompted, gently but insistently, to eke out the pure essence of Syrah. Extremely limited availability.

With notes of dark fruit, black olives, and smoked meat, it epitomizes elegant Syrah from the northern Rhône?.

I would say that Faury does not make Viognier, but rather one hell of a Condrieu, replete with huge apricot and peach aromas and a fresh, regal palate.
