Rooted in a winemaking tradition spanning four generations, Les Vignobles Aubert has grown into one of the Southern Rhône’s leading family-run wine groups, uniting six estates and châteaux across the region’s left bank. Led today by Alain, Claude, Yves, Christine, Aurélien, and the next generation of the Aubert family, the group cultivates nearly 480 hectares across 11 Southern Rhône appellations, combining deep respect for terroir with a modern, quality-driven approach to viticulture and winemaking. From the historic vineyards of Plan de Dieu to the elevated freshness of Domaine Autrand and the recent addition of Château Saint-Jean, the family’s wines are recognized for their consistency, authenticity, and exceptional value.

The Château Le Grand Retour estate, acquired in 1999, lies within the Plan de Dieu AOC—an area defined by its vast beds of ancient Rhône river stones, where, as the Aubert family puts it, the vines “drink the sun and live on stones."

A classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, showing generous aromas of black cherry and raspberry, layered with hints of licorice and spice. The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, with a balanced, complex finish. Altogether, it’s a wine that consistently punches above its weight.

Château de Montfaucon’s history dates back to the 11th century, when the estate’s first tower was built in a strategic bend of the Rhône River, directly across from the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Wine has been produced here since the 15th century, and Montfaucon is recognized as one of the original eleven founding members of the early Côte du Rhône association on the river’s right bank, established to protect and uphold wine quality in the region.

In 1995, Rodolphe de Pins assumed stewardship of the family estate, rebuilding the winery and releasing his first vintage under the Château de Montfaucon name. Since then, the domaine has grown to more than 60 hectares, with vineyards that reflect two millennia of Southern Rhône viticultural heritage. Deeply committed to preserving this natural legacy, de Pins crafts balanced, harmonious wines that express an authentic Rhône identity.

The 2022 vintage in the Southern Rhône was shaped by a warm, solar growing season, resulting in wines that balance ripeness with freshness and approachability. Crafted from a blend of young estate vines and carefully selected fruit from trusted vineyard partners, this cuvée captures the character of the region’s emblematic terroirs of rolled pebbles and fine sandy soils.

The nose starts with an inviting bouquet of fresh strawberries and raspberries, layered with subtle herbal garrigue notes that add depth and regional character. The palate is lively, fresh, and fruit-forward, offering a juicy, rounded texture, while a bright touch of blood orange on the finish brings lift and a sense of invigorating complexity. Smooth and effortlessly approachable, it captures the easy charm and drinkability that define a classic Côtes du Rhône.

Crafting expressive, site-driven wines from regions such as Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and Coonawarra, Elena has built an international reputation in a traditionally male-dominated industry while championing collaboration, mentorship, and greater inclusivity in wine. True to its playful motto — “for the boots worn in the vineyard and the heels worn to wine award dinners” — Sister’s Run balances approachability with serious craftsmanship, delivering regionally expressive wines with fine wine character at exceptional value.

Notes of black cherries dipped in milk chocolate kick things off on the nose followed by hints of violet florals and sweet clove spices from tempered oak. An underlying herbal streak underscores the sweet aromatics, adding a savoury, almost minty edge beneath the fruit. Smooth tannins provide a rounded grip on the palate and are wrapped up by flavours of warm stewed plums with a touch of Pastis. Hallmark notes of cracked black pepper cascade into the rich finish. The balance between ripe fruit and tannin, along with underlying acidity, makes this big red incredibly drinkable.
