His wines are established in the most beautiful appellations of the Northern Rhône Valley, thus satisfying those who love freshness and purity, with devilishly precise white wines and equally successful red ones!
Wine A beautiful expression of its terroir, the 2021 red Côte Rôtie La Porchette reveals a very open nose, full of fruit, with a subtle touch of spice, violet and soot. The full and ample body promises a great wine, to be kept for another 4 to 5 years before opening. Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
