The story
Romans brought the vines culture in the Rhône Valley two centuries ago; sailing up the river, they discovered on each riverbank 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, with great Grenache and juicy Syrah, full of charms, fruit and sweet spices.
