Explore the refined elegance of the Rhône Valley with our carefully curated 2 Bottle Rhône Wine Gift Set, featuring an exquisite Condrieu and a complex Côte-Rôtie. This remarkable pairing captures the finesse of the region’s iconic appellations, offering a sensory journey through vibrant Viognier and powerful Syrah.
Inside the Gift Set:
- Condrieu Les Chaillets, Vieilles Vignes | Yves Cuilleron
This beautifully crafted Condrieu by Yves Cuilleron showcases the Rhône’s Viognier in all its glory. Juicy and enticing, this white wine is perfumed with fresh pineapple, herbs, and a subtle hint of hay. On the palate, it’s creamy with flavours of ripe banana and a balancing acidity that keeps it lively. A vegan wine with depth and character, it’s a brilliant choice for those who appreciate a white that’s both aromatic and structured. - Côte-Rôtie – Coeur de Combard | Domaine Barge
From one of the oldest winemaking families in Ampuis, Domaine Barge’s Côte-Rôtie Coeur de Combard is a compelling blend of Syrah with a touch of Viognier, produced in the renowned Côte-Rôtie appellation. This organic, vegan red is layered with fragrant violets, pepper, and earthy notes of tea leaves that frame the rich dark fruit core. Crafted by Julien Barge with grapes from the single vineyard ‘Le Combard,’ it reveals the distinct mineral elegance of Côte-Rôtie’s unique volcanic soils. Expect a concentrated palate of black cherry, fine-grained tannins, and a complex, enduring finish.

Becky Says: “Why This Rhône Set is a True Treasure”
This Remarkable Rhône Wine Gift Set is one I’m particularly proud of for its extraordinary representation of Rhône’s charm. Yves Cuilleron’s Condrieu is simply stunning – it’s vibrant and creamy with a tropical twist, but with just enough acidity to keep it fresh. It’s a wine I love to savour slowly, as each sip seems to reveal something new. Then there’s the Domaine Barge Côte-Rôtie, which is simply sublime. With its dark fruit, delicate floral notes, and a hint of minerality, it’s a red that’s complex yet beautifully drinkable. Together, these wines bring the spirit of the Rhône Valley alive and make an ideal gift for anyone who enjoys the finer nuances of French wine.
