The wines of Domaine Mouton is our latest discovery. We are pretty sure we are the only shop in the USA that carries these wines. A small family run Domaine based in Condrieu, they own some really nice vineyard plots and have a very talented winemaker. Buy these before they are discovered!
Côte-Rôtie is a rare and legendary appellation. The plots we cultivate are located on the Côte Blonde, on the slopes of Bassenon and Tupin-Semons. The soils here are very schistous and give our cuvées a lot of aromatic bursts, sweetness and power
Maison rouge is the emblematic cuvée of our house. Resulting from a plot selection, we only produce it when we deem it suitable to represent the qualities of the estate. It is rich and powerful with present tannins, refined by a long aging in oak barrels. It is a wine of character which arouses all our attention and which should be kept for a few years to best reveal its potential.

This too is beautifully expressive and perfumed with its airy and cool yet entirely ripe nose that is comprised of subtle wood surrounding the very pinot-like notes of red raspberry and cherry along with a hint of forest floor character. The mouthfeel is...
This small parcel, known as a ‘clos’, formerly belonged to the Kings of France. It was considered one of the appellation’s best parcels and was purchased by the Faiveley family in 1971. This wine could be compared to a Côte de Nuits village in terms of its delicate tannins and length on the palate.
This cuvée is very aromatic and blends notes of juicy cherry, raspberry and ripe fruit. The delicate woodiness testifies to its aging in French oak, which makes it possible to best exploit all the richness of the grapes picked at full maturity. Our Côte-Rôtie is faithful to the image we want to give of the estate, in terms of precision and elegance.
Our two places called Côte Bonnette and Côte Chatillon are located in the very village of Condrieu. The sunny slopes, the airy hillsides and the granite soils make it possible to reach full maturity, without excess. -Winery notes
