Rhonéa - Notre Dame des Vignes, AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages Visan, 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.

Stony soils dating from the Miocene period and sandy marls from the Pliocene era. Located in the northern part of the department and at 300m high, the vineyards of Visan undergo cooler temperatures and Mistral wind influence.

Grenache and Syrah in the Bourdeaux and Lacoste districts.

Traditional vinification in small concrete vats under controlled temperatures (28-30°C). Maceration lasts 15 to 20 days with daily pumping over.
