E. Guigal Ermitage Ex-Voto Blanc 2023

Hermitage

January 29, 2026 - E. Guigal Ermitage Ex-Voto Blanc represents the realization of a longtime dream for Marcel Guigal: owning vineyard land on the famed Hermitage hill. In 2000, Guigal acquired four exceptional parcels through the purchase of the de Vallouit and JL Grippat domaines. The Ex-Voto Blanc is sourced from two parcels, Les Murets (90%) and L’Hermite (10%), a blend of mostly Marsanne with a touch of Roussanne. This wine is made only in exceptional years, showcasing the intense character of old-vine fruit and surpassing even the appellation’s standard bottlings.

Wine Advocate - November 20, 2025 "Beautifully reduced, with notes of toasted nuts, smoke, oak and spices, the 2023 Ermitage Ex Voto Blanc is full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with a multidimensional, layered core of fruit, a…

Finca Decero Mini Ediciones Petit Verdot 2022

Mendoza

January 22, 2026 - Finca Decero’s Mini Ediciones Petit Verdot is a limited-production wine that showcases the unique character of this lesser-known variety. Sourced from the coarse, low-vigour soils of the Remolinos Vineyard, it offers a rich, full-bodied profile with juicy dried berry flavors, hints of shaved chocolate, and tea. The wine is defined by firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Finca Decero is renowned for its top-quality vineyard in Mendoza, securing its place among Argentina’s most highly regarded producers.

Wine Enthusiast - July 01, 2025 "The Mini Ediciones series includes wines from grapes that are not as popular in Argentina as Malbec. This is a Petit Verdot from the Agrelo sub-region in Luján de Cuyo…

Domaine d’Aussières A d’Aussières Rosé 2024

AOC Languedoc

January 21, 2026 - A d’Aussières Rosé is a vibrant, full-bodied expression of Grenache and Syrah, grown in the estate’s cool microclimate. The top 50% of stony and sandy plots contribute to its complexity, with notes of blood orange, raspberry, and a touch of grapefruit. Pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, the wine is matured on the lees for several weeks to enhance its richness.

90

Vinous - May 21, 2025 "The 2024 Rosé A d'Aussières is laden with nuances of fresh strawberry, yogurt, tarragon and crushed rocks. Fresh and energetic yet notably calibrated and refined, the 2024 finishes with good…

Château de La Chaize Fleurie “Clos de La Chapelle des Bois”

Beaujolais

January 16, 2026 - A precision-driven expression of cru Beaujolais, built for perfume, finesse, and structural detail rather than simple fruit. Sourced from a single-vineyard monopole in Fleurie, it captures the appellation’s signature floral lift and silky texture while delivering the depth and concentration that can only be expected from a limited single-site bottling. The wine’s personality is defined by freshness first, with layered red and dark berry tones, subtle spice, and a refined mineral line that keeps the palate energized and long.

James Suckling - April 12, 2024 “An elegant and fragrant Fleurie that has the light-footed character and floral delicacy we associate with this appellation. The wine's structure is very discreet, completely beneath the surface on the…

E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Vignes de l’Hospice 2021

Saint-Joseph

January 12, 2026 - Guigal’s Vignes de l’Hospice is one of the finest sites in the Northern Rhone Valley. Guigal now owns the majority of this steeply terraced vineyard. Guigal is often asked when they will produce a fourth “LaLa,” and their response is that their fourth single vineyard phenomenon of the Northern Rhone is already being produced: the Vignes de l’Hospice.

94

Wine Advocate - November 20, 2025 "A real success in the context of the vintage, the 2021 Saint-Joseph Vignes de l'Hospice unfurls in the glass with aromas of dark berries, licorice, chocolate, spices and mulberries, mingled…

Jeb Dunnuck - May 09, 2025 "An incredible achievement in this challenging vintage, the 2021 Saint Joseph Vignes De L'Hospice boasts cassis, crushed stone, bacon fat, and violet aromas and flavors. Serious, long, and elegant, it…
