GIGONDAS LE CLAUX CHATEAU OF SAINT COSME 2017
Very old Grenache planted at the place called "Le Claux". Whole harvest. Calcareous Miocene marls, in the alluvial cone of the Font des Papes. Twelve-month aging: 20% in new pieces - 50% in pieces of one wine - 30% in pieces of two wines.
And if Le Claux was the best wine of Saint Cosme? In light of the last tastings of old wines that we conducted at the estate, it is permissible to ask the question. Certainly, Le Claux is the oldest vine in Saint Cosme and one of the first post-phylloxeric plantations in France, but why does this soil generate so much quality?
That said, the microclimate of Saint Cosme probably has a significant impact on this locality: the fresh air of the valley of the Font des Papes continuously refreshes this area which gives intensely aromatic fruit. The cold influence would tend to be demonstrated by the fact that Le Claux is a later terroir.

Producer Benjamin & David DUCLAUX
Created in 1928, our estate was mainly developed by our father Edmond Duclaux. Today, we cultivate by hand 5,8 hectares of vines on the sloping slopes of Tupine and Semons. Our ambition is to produce elegant Côte-Rôties. typical of the southern Côte-Rôtie appellation (from a Gneiss bedrock).
The Cuvée La Germine is the main cuvée of the domain. It is a typical example of Côte-Rôtie from the south of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. It is composed of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier. It comes from several so-called places (Coteau de Tupin, Tupin, le collet, Maison-Rouge, Coteau de Bassenon) all located on a source of Gneiss or Migmatite. This cuvée, both complete and balanced, primarily expresses the elegance of the Côte-Rôtie appellation.
Côtes du Rhône Red 2022 Domaine des Espiers Magnum
It is in 1989 that the area of Espiers was born in Vacqueyras, when Philippe Cartoux decided to walk in the footsteps of his grandparents who owned a vineyard in the family since 1879.
The nature of the soil is clay and limestone with 15% garrigue type pebbles. The culture is carried out without chemical weedkillers in order to preserve the typicality of the soils. The grape variety is 70% Grenache noir, 20% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah. Aged 25 years on average, the vines are young and have a high density of 5400 vines per hectare, which is 30% more than traditional plantations from the southern Rhône. The yield of the vines is 40 hl. The vinification is carried out in concrete vats and the stalk is kept during the vinification in order to facilitate pumping over and unloading. Aging takes place in concrete vats for 8 months before bottling.
Vacqueyras Cuvée Vincila Domaine Montvac 2020 75 cl
At the origin of this estate is Louis Avon, a journeyman cooper who, during his Tour de France, settled in Vacqueyras where he came to buy some acres of vines. Today, after a transmission from mother to daughter, the domain covers 22 hectares including 2 in Cotes du Rhone, 3 en Gigondas et 17 en VacqueyrasIn the vineyards, the reasoned fight is in the spotlight, which excludes herbicides and pesticides. In the same logic of respect for Nature, the soil is mechanically worked. Concerning the grape variety, Grenache is in the majority, followed by Syrah and a little Mourvèdre. Happy team of pickers share pick the beautiful and good bunches. In the cellar, you will find the same respect, the same attention as in the vineyards, with minimalist interventions and barrel aging.
A selection of Grenache and Syrah from our best terroirs and our oldest vines, elaborated only in vintages of known quality, Vincila expresses the ambitious serenity of maturity.
The oldest of the high-expression wines of Domaine de Montvac.
The desired complexity implies low yields: 25 hl / ha only for Grenache (60%) and 30 hl / ha for Syrah.
100% Serine (old syrah).
Whole harvest. Schists and Micaschists in places called Semons, But de Mont, Les Bercheries, Maison Rouge, Rozier, Cote Rozier, Besset and Bodin.
Aged for twelve months: 30% in new barrels – 70% in barrels of one wine.
What a vintage in Cote Rotie! It has been a long time since I had obtained such wines. When you taste all the barrels and everything is great, it's like visualizing the color palette that a painter will use. The different localities express themselves in such a precise and beautiful way that you wonder if you are not on the greatest terroir in the world. The mica schists are capable in 2019 of producing a finesse imbued with charm and mystery, the wines exude wild blackberry, pencil lead, smoked ham, iodine: pure magic. Then on the palate, the textured sweetness blends with the natural freshness of serine when it is grown in its northern limit. This 2019 is not to be missed under any circumstances as it evokes its glorious predecessors of 1991, 1999 and 2007. I set out to discover the Cote Rotie in 1997: after 24 vintages of practice in this wonderful terroir, I believe that the slightly warmer vintages (like 2019) are fine here. Moreover, it suffices to refer to the primary and literal meaning of “Cote-Rôtie” to be convinced of this.

Côtes du Rhône Handful of Gramenon grapes 2022 75 cl
The originality of the Gramenon terroir comes from the limestone bar (tidal system) formerly covered by the sea (86 million years).

Location: 350m above sea level on the hillsides and the Gramenon plateau in the town of Montbrison sur Lez.
Vineyard: Young Grenache vines (4 to 30 years old) managed in Biodynamics
Yield: 35hl/ha Geology: Gramenon is built on siliceous and shelly sandstone, forming relief in the landscape of sandy safres. This sandstone bank corresponds to a molasse set up in the coastal marine environment, under the influence of tidal currents around 12 Ma
Natural vinification: Manual harvest sorted 15 days maceration in raw cement tank Partly destemmed harvest Fermentation in indigenous yeasts Light sulphiting after Malo depending on the vintage
