Well orientated slopes and terraces offer ideal sunshine exposure. The vines flourish in a stony limestone clay soil and find their full expression thanks to certified organic and biodynamic agriculture.

The 2019 vintage is in line with the top vintages of the decade. After a nice winter, spring came slowly, and our famous “Mistral” wind helped keep a healthy environment in the vineyard during the crucial moments of the growing season. The last week of June, Rhône Valley vineyards went through a heat wave with temperatures above 45°C (113 °F).

Fortunately, our biodynamic sprays of horn dungs, silicas, chamomiles, nettles and essential oils, combined with the good water reserve of the soils from 2018, helped the vines to continue their growth in great conditions. Thanks to gentle rains in August and September, we were able to pick beautiful, healthy and balanced grapes.

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard. Co-fermentation, vatting from 18 to 26 days for soft extractions. Matured for 12 months in vats, and oak foudres.

Rasteau 2019 offers intense aromas of black fruit and blueberries, lifted by a touch of spice. The palate is rich in fruit with depth and minerality accompanied by remarkable persistence.
