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.
The vintage
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.
Location
Sandy marls, clay and limestone terroir.
In the vineyard
Hand-harvest at optimum maturity. From their arrival to the cellar until they arrived in the vats, grapes are maintained at cold temperatures (4-6°C) to preserve their aromas.
Winemaking
Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a low temperature and is stopped by "mutage" (addition of pure neutral alcohol) to maintain a certain level of natural sugar, balanced by acidity. 4-6 months in vats
