Terroir Daronton, Rasteau, Rouge, 2023

“Originating from 13 names... those of the thirteen founders who came together and gathered a team of expert winemakers to create a trusted signature for Rhone Valley wines. As a tribute to their work, the name DARONTON was born from a blend of parts of their names.”

2023 was full of contrast! Warm temperatures at the beginning of winter, then a return to normalcy until February; Spring was characterized by a persistent drought and strong wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Our winegrower partners have worked a lot in the vineyards to preserve the grapes. At the beginning of the harvest, berries were healthy and well-ripened, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.

Hillsides with rolled pebbles on the surface and clay in the ground.

Traditional vinification at controlled temp. Fermentation lasts around 20 days.

8-10 months in concrete tanks
