To elaborate our “Varonniers” wine, we have chosen our oldest Crozes-Hermitage vines (more than 60 years old on average).
Soil: The granitic slopes are oriented South-East at the end of the Hermitage hill and on fluvial terraces on the “Chassis” plot.
Harvest: Hand-harvested at maturity.
Winemaking: Vinification is made in small concrete tank. Fermenting is long and lasts around one month to polymerize tannins. Only free-run juice is used.
Maturing: This wine is entirely matured in oak casks (with a percentage of new ones) from 14 to 18 months.
