Wine Expert Note:

This classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils is a deep ruby-red in colour, with aromas of ripe red fruit, spice and subtle hints of garrigue. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with a velvety texture, good balance and a long finish. Its tannins are firm yet ripe, and its aromatics are complex. This is an excellent representation of the terroir, with a fine balance between fruit, spice and earthy tones.

Domaine Eric et Joël Durand Confidence Cornas embodies the pinnacle of quality winemaking in the renowned Cornas appellation. Situated in the southern part of the Saint-Joseph appellation, the vineyard spans approximately 20 hectares of steep, granite-rich slopes meticulously tended by brothers Joël and Eric Durand. With an average vine age of 30 years, the terroir imparts depth and character to the grapes, exclusively Syrah, grown here. Manual harvesting and traditional vinification methods, including daily punch-downs during a 20-day period, ensure optimal extraction and concentration. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for a year, with 30% new oak and the remainder seasoned between 1 to 4 years. Known for their dedication to manual labor and attention to detail, the Durand brothers produce red wines of exceptional quality, characterized by concentrated textures and a distinctive graphite, precise, and mineral-driven style that reflects the unique terroir of Cornas.

Crafted through meticulous processes spanning vineyard care, vinification, aging, and bottling, Vidal-Fleury wines embody excellence. Winemaker Guy Sarton du Jonchay attributes their quality to premium grape origins and patient maturation. Grown on the gentle slopes near Dentelles de Montmirail, Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes flourish in marl, clay, and sandy soils at elevations of 150-500 meters. Manual harvesting precedes indigenous yeast fermentation and a maceration period in temperature-controlled tanks. Aging occurs on lees for about three months in tanks, followed by at least six months in large oak casks.
