The wine region of Côtes du Vivarais
Rhodanian AOP above the Ardèche gorges (Gras plateau, argilo-calcareous soils, Mistral, Mediterranean): Grenache and Syrah as signature reds, complemented by Cinsault and Marselan — profile of fleshy dark fruits and spiced notes, fairly firm tannins balanced by pleasant freshness, Grenache providing structure and warmth, Syrah adding a northern peppery note. Grenache Blanc with Clairette, Marsanne, Viognier and Roussanne as floral whites.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Water stress
Lack of water. Water stress blocks the vegetative cycle of the vine, which uses all available resources to maintain the integrity of the plant, thus blocking the ripening process of the grapes.
