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.
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.
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…

Rotem & Mounir Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Arioso 2021
Chateauneuf-du-Pape
January 09, 2026 - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Arioso is Mounir Saouma’s first wine from a small plot in Pignan, where he works a Grenache vineyard planted in the 1930s. Yielding just one ton per acre, these vines produce a wine of exceptional density and elegance. Situated in the northeast of the appellation, the site benefits from its proximity to Mont Ventoux, offering freshness to the naturally ripe fruit. The wine, often compared to the great Rayas wines of the 1980s, balances profound depth with a fresh, ethereal character. "Arioso" evokes the delicate, yet powerful nature of opera.
Wine Spectator - January 08, 2026 "Starts off perfumed and stylish but slowly opens up to reveal a wealth of depth and dimension. Seriously structured, with layers of graphite, toasty cedar spice and wild woodsy notes,…
Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc 1er Cru 2022
Beaune 1er Cru
January 08, 2026 - Domaine Chanson Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches comes from one of Beaune’s top vineyards, where Chanson owns 11 acres. The vineyard is located on the sunny, east-facing slopes of Mont Saint-Désiré, bordering the Premiers Crus of Pommard. A 5.4-acre plot at the top is planted with Chardonnay. The wine has a pale gold color with floral aromas, white-fleshed fruits, citrus notes, and subtle minerality. Rich, powerful, and complex, it also has nuanced woody characteristics. The name refers to beehives once kept here, with “mouches à miel” meaning “honey flies.”
Wine Enthusiast - March 31, 2026
Wine Spectator - June 24, 2024 "Butter, honey, peach and lemon curd flavors mark this creamy white. Lively acidity keeps this evolving on the palate, while the finish delivers baking spice notes."
