2024 · Côtes du Rhône

Halos de Jupiter is a Southern Rhône négociant project administered by family-owned Famille Gassier and co-run by Michel Gassier of Château de Nages and consultant Philippe Cambie. Developed over almost 15 years, it selects, ages, and blends Grenache-centric wines from partner growers across prestigious Southern Rhône appellations. The project emphasizes close grower relationships, discerning élevage, balance, integrity, and the expression of terroir. Its wines are made with a low-intervention approach, without fining or filtration, and explore the varied personalities of appellations including Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The labels reflect this hierarchy through a Jupiter-and-moons design.
