Terroir Daronton, Les Hautes Roches, AOC Côtes du Rhône, Rouge, 2023

Terroir Daronton highlights the savoir-faire of our winegrowers who, for around 100 years and 3 generations, work hard on their land to produce generous and expressive Rhone Valley wines

2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.

Clay and limestone soils.

Slight cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation temperatures controlled at 25°C with daily pumping over.
