‘Tasty wines for tasty moments’, that’s what the Rhonéa signature range stands for.

Presentation

Presentation
As in cooking, we carefully select terroirs and grape varieties to best express the original flavours of each appellation in a fruity, expressive style with silky tannins. Each cuvée is enjoyable from the moment it is bottled. The final blending is carried out with Chefs Disciples d'Escoffier, so that each wine is associated with the world of gastronomy from the start.
Terroir
Old alluvial terraces of pebbles and pebbles.
In the vineyard
Plot selection of vines over thirty years old. Partly manual harvest. Size in cups and cords.

Advice

Tasting
The color is a bright purple. The nose focuses on black fruits enhanced by the spices of the terroir of this cuvée. On the palate, we are dealing with a balanced wine, on roundness with a fine and tight tannic structure. This structured, gourmet and distinguished cuvée will benefit from being reserved for 3 years to reveal its full potential.
Food pairings
Can be enjoyed in its youth with grilled red meats and vegetables. At maturity, it will be able to combine with mushroom preparations, snails, tasty meats (lamb, buckshot) as well as poultry. Perfect with cheese, prefer soft pasta and tomme cheese.
