“Brigitte Roch and Gilbert Clusel are true, loyal friends with whom I have been working since the ‘91 vintage. They have remained true to the kinds of wines they (and I) love to drink. Natural, never chaptalized, never acidified, never too oaky. They are pure, vibrant and alive. They prove that Syrah grown in its most northern boundaries can have the texture, elegance, freshness and complexity of great Pinot found in the best sites of Burgundy. And wow, is Brigitte a great cook! I always plan my visit for late morning and hope for an invitation to lunch.” —Daniel Johnnes
