This vineyard of 20 ha is farmed by brothers Éric and Joël Durand. Their grapes are from three pacrels within the Cote du Rhône: Saint-Joseph, Cornas and Saint-Péray supplying Syrah, Marsanne and Roussanne; with a small additional parcel of land in IGP Collines Rhodaniennes supplying the Voignier grape.
The various grapes are planted on granite-heavy hillside soils on the right hand side of the Rhone and on a few limestone foothills. The brothers believe in sustainable culture as well as manual work. Allowing the grapes to reach optimal maturity allows a perfect expression of the domain's terroirs and the production of rich wines respecting traditional Rhône wine-making values. Through oak ageing the expression of each terroir is revealed, bringing the wines delicacy, smoothness, elegance and richness.

Winemaker's Notes
Full shiny yellow robe. The bouquet has a compote or stewed fruits aroma, notes of barley sugar and cooked lemon. There are also hints of the Rousanne elegance. On the palate are white fruits with a touch of tannin. It is harmonious, smoothly textured and very elegant.
