Racine, Côtes-du-rhône, Rouge
Romans brought the vines culture in the Rhône Valley two millenaries ago; sailing up the river, they discovered on each river bank sides a great diversity of soils and favorable conditions… The river itself has drawn hillsides and plains, bringing from the Alpes Mountains, silt and rounded pebbles. Since this time, men have cultivated the best soils to elaborate beautiful cuvées of Côtes-du-Rhône like this one, descended from the terroir of Signargues, with great Grenache, juicy Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvè
