Presentation
Bringing together 388 artisan winegrowers family in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, Rhonéa produces a wine from one of the richest winegrowing terroirs in the Rhone, called Daronton, the name of the family who first planted the vineyard three generations ago. Formed by ice volcanoes 60 million years ago, the Dentelles de Montmirail comprise a patchwork of evaporate, blue clay, and limestone that give the wines a powerful, elegant, and deep flavour profile. The layers of sediment found several kilometres down rise to the surface here to form a terroir unlike any other in the world.
Terroir
This Cru Vacqueyras is a blend of wines from various parts of the appellation with similar terroirs: soil with river stones on the surface and blue clay deeper down.
Winemaking
This cuvée was blended in our cellars to obtain an elegant, natural, very aromatic wine. After years of experience, we succeeded in creating the wine we were striving for: generous, pure, and mineral with deep, concentrated fruit.

Reviews
"Bright violet. Expressive dark berry and cherry aromas are complicated by suggestions of succulent flowers and baking spices. Appealingly sweet and supple in texture, offering juicy blackberry and cherry liqueur flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. Finishes long and gently tannic, leaving a juicy berry note behind." [+]
