January 07, 2026 - Clos de La Chaize Monopole is a prestigious single-vineyard wine from the Château de La Chaize estate in the Brouilly appellation, the largest of the Beaujolais crus. As a "monopole," it comes exclusively from one vineyard under the estate’s control. The wine features vibrant red fruit flavors of cherry and raspberry, with fresh acidity, soft tannins, and a subtle minerality from the region’s granite-rich terroir.
James Suckling - February 20, 2023 "Tremendous spicy and balsamic complexity overlays the ripe (but not a jot overripe) blackberry fruit of this concentrated and imposing Brouilly. Such a beautiful silky texture it’s hard to tear…
Wine Spectator - August 04, 2022 "The 2020 Brouilly Clos de La Chaize is another wine that was matured in a newly acquired foudre, and notes of vanilla pod and spice mingle with its aromas of…

Chateauneuf-du-Pape

E. Guigal Condrieu 2023
Condrieu
January 07, 2026 - E. Guigal Condrieu is one of the world’s most exotic and distinctive wines, celebrated for its intense aromatics of apricots, white peach, and citrus, complemented by a luscious, almost umami-rich body.

Today, Guigal is the leading producer in Condrieu, ensuring a continuous supply of this rare wine, with its signature wild and floral aromas that are like no other white wine in the world.
