Domaine de la Colline Bleue, AOC Rasteau, Rouge, 2022

Property of the Girard family for 3 generations, the estate is now run by Paul, also President of the Cave de Rasteau, and his son Lucas.

Between heat and drought, the weather conditions have been challenging again this year. However, thanks to the remarkable resilience of our vines and the dedicated efforts of our Artisan Winegrowers and technical staff, the 2022 vintage promises to be of outstanding quality.

The parcels selected for this cuvée have been planted the year Paul was born. The vines flourish on hills made of blue marls from the Pliocene era.

After manual harvesting, Grenache, Syrah & Cinsault are vinifed separately in concrete vats. Fermentation at controlled temperatures (28-30°C). Maceration lasts around 20 days.
