About the Event
From the magical lands of the Northern Rhône please welcome rockstar producer, Julien Pilon.
Julien has a masterly hand with his grapes, brilliantly balancing the tightrope between their natural extravagance and glorious freshness. He produces elegant whites of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, vinifying and aging in oak. His reds, equally exceptional, are all 100% Syrah, with beautiful complexity and peppery notes, both fresh and well kept, ready to drink or able to cellar for years to come.
This best-kept secret has been a winemaker to watch for some time. Receiving accolades and whispers of cult status, Julien Pilon's wines are limited in quantity, sought after and adored, and we are over the moon to share them with you.
