About the wine
Virgile dreamed of returning to his hometown and working with his grandpa's rare, old vineyard
- Triumphant Virgile returns from the Rhone with this cracker. Expect Virgile's signature style - smooth, juicy and dangerously easy drinking
- You bankrolled Virgile's dream ambition to make a stunning wine from his birthplace with his grandfather's rare, old vineyard...and the result is mind blowing.
- A perfect Rhone red like this is a great go-to on Pizza night, but it's elegant enough to pair with finer foods as well.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Virgile Joly
Years Angel-funded: 2013-18
- Virgile Joly is the poster boy for organic viticulture in the south of France. There's even a novel about his early days when he manually bottled his first vintage with a funnel (imagine filling 3000 bottles that way?!)
- A ridiculously talented winemaker with rave reviews from Jancis Robinson and other European critics, Virgile is living his best life in the Languedoc.
- Thanks to Angel funding, Virgile was able to expand his production. You were the investors that helped bring his world-class wines to a global audience!
