The Story

After leaving our Wine garage in 2019, Didier Cote, the owner of our new cellar, offered us the opportunity to take over his plot of old vines in the village of Tupin and Semons. We were completely captivated by it because it represents everything we are passionate about here in CÔTE-RÔTIE. The granitic terroir of the Cote blonde, with slopes ranging from 40 to 50%, has more terraces than vines! Each “chey” (terrace) contains 3 or 4 vine plants planted in the 1980s.

This cuvée, made from 100% destemmed grapes, is aged for 20 months in barrels of three or four wines. Today, after aging for a year in bottles at the cellar, we are eager to introduce you to this plot. You will find the delicacy and floral nose typical of the southern part of the appellation, along with lovely notes of spices and licorice.

Quantities are very limited, with only 800 bottles and 30 magnums produced.
