History
Some plots in the commune of Suzette do not meet the criteria for the Beaumes de Venise appellation. They have therefore been classified as Côtes du Rhône. We also made the personal choice to downgrade our vines less than 15 years old from the vintage.
Terroir
Various clay-limestone terroirs from the Triassic period, a very ancient geological period with very colorful soils. This soil touches the surface of the commune of Suzette, due to a compression phenomenon. It brings peppery and spicy notes to the wines.
In the vineyard
Mechanically worked soils between the vines, maintaining a layer of vegetation between the rows. Grenache – Syrah – Cinsault – Mourvèdre, vines from 4 to 30 years old.
In the cellar
“Fruit, freshness, simplicity”
Vinified without any added oenological products. Hand-harvested, hand-sorted, and completely destemmed. Maceration for 10 to 14 days, aged for 6 months in concrete vats. Sulfur-free.
Tasting
Smooth and fruity, with hints of spice. Drink now, between 16°C and 18°C, with starters or white meats.
Storage
Best consumed young to enjoy the fruity flavor. Can be cellared for 2 to 4 years in a cool cellar (1 to 2 years in a cellar with significant temperature fluctuations).
All our wines are organic, certified by Fr-Bio-10 Agriculture France.
