The Lord of Maugiron, whose home was the Château d'Ampuis, is said to have divided his vineyards between his two daughters, one fair-haired and one dark. Their dowries became the famous Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, the two great hillsides that still define the appellation. Les Filles Maugiron, \"the daughters of Maugiron\", brings both together in one bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLocal history also says that the Château d'Ampuis was the scene of a groundbreaking event in 1553, when turkeys were first served in France. That's a little ironic, given our focus on vegan wines!

Together they give a wine of power, depth and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow It's Made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, the white grape traditionally fermented with Syrah in Côte-Rôtie to lift the aromas and soften the texture.
