Rhonéa - Passe Colline, AOC Ventoux, Rouge, 2023

RHONÉA, as the name suggests, is the trusted choice for Rhône Valley wines. Our Artisans winegrowers & winemakers have been committed since 1925 to bring you the best from our vineyards & let you taste more than just wine, but the quality & authenticity of our terroirs.

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.

Hills with light sandy soil, terrace of fallen rocks

Daily délestage (rack and return) and cooling of the must. The wine undergoes a short maceration (8 days) in order to preserve delicate tannins.

Short ageing in vats and early bottling to keep the fruitiness of the wine.
