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.

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 - 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…
