Philippe Borlais
Philippe Borlais produces wines from the Southern Rhône, where Mediterranean warmth and ancient soils shape distinctive expressions of the region's classic varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Côtes du Rhône—the appellation's benchmark tier—across both red and white. Tete du Rhone Cotes du Rhone Blanc blends Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier into a white of textural depth, while Roi de la Colline Côtes du Rhône and Tete du Rhone Cotes du Rhone Rouge draw on Grenache and Syrah to capture the red wine character of the Southern Rhône: ripe stone fruit, spice, and supple tannin. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated the portfolio, with the white leading critical assessment. These are wines rooted in terroir and varietal tradition rather than extraction or oak.
