Our dear friend, inspiration, and legendary wine consultant– Philippe Cambie would have celebrated his 64th birthday on Jan 21st.
He was the greatest blender of our generation, if not lifetime. His true genius was assembling seemingly disparate
components that were instantly greater- seamless and profound.

$349 per 6 pack
To honor and recognize Philippe’s impact, we offer 3 wines directly inspired by him and his proteges. On this special day, we reflect on how much he is missed. Our offer is a personal 6 pack: 2 bottles each of 2024 Etienne “Essen”, 2024 “Coronati” reserve, and our rare, one-time 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape.
We offer 3 wines inspired by him, elevating and celebrating the Southern Rhone. Our base cuvee always delivers with freshness and grace. Our top Lirac, Coronati, as always exudes and freshness from round stones. Lastly we offer a stunning, 65 yr. old vine Grenache parcel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape planted in pure sand.
2024 “Essen” Lirac
Grenache, Philippe’s favorite varietal, shines through in this Rhone blend. Purity, freshness, and grace.
2024 “Coronati” Lirac
A substantial wine with soul and energy that first defined our Coronati. It is deeper, more layered expression with denser fruit, more savory nuance, and a sense of quiet authority beneath the exuberance. Only made in best years.
2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Made from a sandy, north-facing, old vine plot, this Grenache based blend has lift and perfume. Red fruits, violets, and spice, and graceful elegance. Made only once; 125 cases.
