"Densely Packed and Powerful" Rhone Legend

Chateau-Grillet is a legend of the Northern Rhone. Established in the 3rd century, visited by Thomas Jefferson, and since 2011 under the capable stewardship of Groupe Artémis the estate is experiencing a new chapter of excellence. This is the same group which also owns Clos de Tart, Domaine d’Eugénie, and Château Latour in France as well as Eisele in Napa. 

And of the new ownership, The Wine Spectator has a decided opinion “Frédéric Engerer has brought Château-Grillet back to life...Château-Grillet is a ghost no more...not surprised that Frédéric Engerer and estate manager Alessandro Noli figured out how to unlock the potential at Château-Grillet. I'm a little surprised they got it done so quickly."

These old vines produce a wine that is creamy, rich and opulent. It is timelessly elegant and fit for any Michelin-worthy meal—even if prepared at home. The 2016 in particular has a noteworthy minerality and liveliness.
