Domaine Sainte-anne, Aop Côtes Du Rhône, White
Guy Steinmaier, a Burgundian by birth, moved to the tiny hamlet of Les Celettes near Saint-Gervais in the early 1960s. Starting off with a selection of rather degenerate vines, he laid down the foundations of Domaine Sainte-Anne, which is now one of the leading producers of Côtes-du-Rhône and Côtes-du-Rhône Villages. Today it is run by his 2 sons, Jean and Alain.
The story
The estate has grown in reputation with wines showing a Burgundian-like finesse. As far back as the 1990s, Robert Parker described this as 'one of the best estates in the entire Rhône Valley' and suggests the wines could be regarded as 'mini-Beaucastel and/or Bandol', wines which cost two or three times as much. This bottling is delightful blend of the three main varieties of the north from the leading estate in Saint-Gervais with pleasing freshness.
