70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre
Region Rhône Valley, France
Subregion Southern Rhône
Appellation Côtes du Rhône
Farming Methods Organic, Sustainable
From a hidden corner of the Rhône Valley, this is from 30+ year old vines, grown on terraced hills west of Montélimar, on stony and sedimentary soils. The grapes are hand-harvested, native yeast fermented in cement tanks before being aged in stainless steel. At bottling, the wine is unfiltered, lightly fined and lightly sulfured before bottling. It offers bright soft and juicy red and blue fruit with mineral notes and balancing acidity. Eminently chuggable.
The farmers here practice polyculture to maintain environmental balance, so grapes aren't their only crops: they also tend olive trees to make olive oil, fruit trees and various grain fields. In 1967, the Vignerons Ardechois built their first winery, a shared facility where efficiency and solidarity could work hand in hand. The modern collective has training systems in place to help young farmers and winemakers learn the skills needed to work their own land. The focus is on sustainable farming methods which contribute to health of the Ardeche region, with utmost respect given to the water, air, flora and fauna.

Wine producers and growers, we are a unique pool of 14 wineries located in Southern Ardèche since 1967.
On our 6000-hectare vineyard, spread out over a mosaic of terroirs, a thousand families of winegrowers work the vineyard with passion, respecting Humanity and Nature.
Following in the footsteps of countless generations, with knowledge and expertise being passed down from Successor to Successors. Methodical pruning in the harshness of winter, vineyard grassing to preserve the life of the soil, green harvest to maintain small yields so that each bay can give its full potential. Followed by the meticulous blending, vine after vine.
Time and again, searching for this fine balance between the hand of man and the expression of soil to bring together a wine translating all the facets of our terroirs.
