The wine region of Côte-Rôtie
Mythical cru of the northern Rhône with vertiginous slopes: signature Syrah as king red (≥80%) co-fermented with up to 20% Viognier — deep robe with signature aromas of violet, raspberry, blackberry, black olive, smoked bacon, black pepper and a leather touch, fine tannins and signature aromatic finish. Structured Côte Brune (schists) and floral Côte Blonde (granites). AOC (1940), ~300 ha of terraces on Ampuis, ages 10-30 years. Historic cradle of the northern Rhône.
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: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
