FRANCE \u2013 C\u00d4TE ROTIE <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur wish is to offer wines that best reflect our terroirs, our history, our region unlike any other. Respect for the delicacy of the fruit, finesse and balance for our Syrahs. Accuracy, generosity and tradition for our white wines. Hoping to bring to each person who tastes a wine from our estate, an emotion, a memory, pleasure! \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the philosophy of Domaine Garon which, according to Jeb Dunnuck, is now one of the top names in the C\u00f4te-Rotie appellation as he declared in 2020: \u201cWhile quality was reliable in the 2000s, since 2010, everything appears to have been on a steady upward trajectory, with the 2015 being the finest wines I\u2019ve tasted from the estate, and magical wines produced in both 2017 and 2018. Lovers of pure, classical C\u00f4te R\u00f4tie need to get on this estate\u2019s bandwagon ASAP! \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Domaine\u2019s faithful is convinced of this too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The range is not limited to the 4 cuv\u00e9es of C\u00f4te Rotie (Blonde or Brune area). Whether for the C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne, the Syrah IGP, the 2 cuv\u00e9es de Viognier or the 2 St Josephs (white and red), the same care is given to the entire range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the estate is now fully committed to more sustainable agriculture that respects the environment. A new cellar and new cuv\u00e9es planned soon demonstrate the domain\u2019s ambition for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Jeb Dunnuck, a new laudatory article in the latest issue of Decanter<\/strong> (March 2023), the prestigious magazine dedicated to wine and distributed in more than 90 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Walls (Decanter) :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt might be small and understated, but with quality increasing each year Matt Walls says it\u2019s only a matter of time before this domaine becomes a household name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe quality across the board has been gradually increasing over the past few years, which is what prompted my visit. Their 2021s are surprisingly strong for such a challenging year. Though their style is their own, if forced to compare I\u2019d place them somewhere between Ogier, Barge and Jasmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wines, when tasted, speak first and foremost of their origins \u2013 not the hand that made them. The confident but understated approach means this domaine isn\u2019t yet as well-known as some of the starrier names of C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie. But with quality like this, it\u2019s only a matter of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
