Aprašymas

Roussanne 100%. Vines are from a 70+ year old variety of Roussanne locally called Roussette. The ampelographer Pierre Gallet described a Roussette variety observed until the 1940s in Hermitage. The brightness and brilliance of the vintage make this wine approachable when young, with magnificent aging potential. Classic wine, very mineral and with great depth. Direct vertical pressing. Natural cold settling. Fermented by indigenous yeasts. Wine elaborated and aged partly in terracotta amphorae and partly in 15-year-old barrels. No use of sulfur before bottling.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 12-14 °C with white meat or fish in creamy sauces, and most cheeses.

Becoming a winegrower is the great adventure that began for Eric 20 years ago; a dream for those who have no family background in vineyards or wine but are just passionate wine lovers. Step by step, he have created a 12-hectare estate today in the appellation of Brézème located in the northern Rhône and in the Ardèche just next door, in the Ouvèze valley. His approach and philosophy are born from personal journeys, readings, meetings with emblematic winemakers around the world and unconventional farmers.
