The Paul cuvée is a selection of the estate’s finest barrels. It is characterized by “well-integrated oak, pronounced tannins, and a velvety texture enhanced by rich, chocolatey aromas.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A well-crafted, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Although this vineyard was founded in 1919, it is the current generation that has really put it on the map. Sébastien Girard has transitioned the approximately 20 hectares to biodynamic farming. In the Saviaux and Châssis sectors of Crozes-Hermitage, the grapes ripen well—sometimes a bit too much when global warming comes into play. Thanks to the biodynamic practices implemented here, the wines retain their structure, remaining elegant and fresh, without succumbing to opulence or heaviness.
