The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Driven by the energy of Guillaume Clusel, the Clusel-Roch estate is shaking up the hierarchy in the Rhône Valley. Regularly featured among the top wines in the region's appellations, whether it’s Côte Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, or Côtes-du-Rhône, the same meticulous care is applied across the board. With organic farming, precise winemaking, and attention to every detail, the estate continues to impress and make its mark.
Wine The 2019 Côtes-du-Rhône Les Vergers offers a rich, spiced aroma with floral notes brought out by whole-cluster fermentation. Full-bodied and well-rounded, it delivers the quintessential Northern Rhône profile, combining depth with a touch of indulgence. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
