Farmers in the Northern Rhone since 1925, the Chirat family began with a small vineyard of Syrah alongside animal and fruit farming. After Gilbert Chirat joined his father in 1984 they decided to focus solely on vineyards, planting more Syrah alongside Viognier in Condrieu. Now working in Saint Joseph, Cote Rotie and Condrieu, the Chirat family have embraced a sustainable model, certified by HVE. They have stopped all use of herbicide across their vineyards, farm 30% of their sites organically and in 2023 installed solar panels to provide electricity for their cellar.
La Cote comes from a single parcel of old-vine Syrah on granite soil in the northern end of Saint Joseph, the finest part of the region. 25% of the wine is fermented with whole bunches and it is aged for 12 months in a mixture of French and Austrian oak barrels.
Spicy and stony on first impression, with lots of black pepper, olive tapenade and an iron-like note on the nose. Superb concentration on the palate, with a delicious creaminess to the ripe blackberry and Victoria plum fruit. The tannins are firm but not aggressive, giving it a lovely full-bodied structure perfect for game and roast meats.

New & Exciting
There are very few wine shops as good as Butlers, years of buying wines from them. There is always something new & exciting to pick out off the shelves and if you’re in any doubt the advice is considered and insightful.

Brilliant Butlers!
Words can't express the brilliance of Butlers or the thoughtfulness, expertise and compassion of their team! Whilst packing up to move internationally a friend died and I needed to organise an emergency case of something luscious to support the wake. Not only did their wonderful team organise and deliver within an incredibly tight deadline they drafted a message for me too which I approved. Wonderful!!

Delightful, delicious, delectable
As a lockdown convert, I'm an online customer, but the clear website, with interesting blogs and some comprehensive descriptions, really helps to steer you. Great advice when needed and great service too.

Sourcing Stock
Henry and Team managed to locate some difficult to find American wine which they kindly offered and I gratefully accepted. They truly differentiate by being able to surprise by sourcing stock very much outside the run of the mill.

Great Wine/Spirit shop with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff
This was my second visit to Butlers Wine Cellar and on both occasions the service has been wonderful. The young lady assisted me and my wife on a number of purchases of wine and sherry and seemed very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. Having tasted them she was spot on with her comments on each bottle. I would highly recommend anyone to use this shop.
