Hervé Souhaut tends his Ardèche vineyards while preserving the original character of the granite-rich slopes, where Syrah expresses itself with a light, airy quality.

Hervé Souhaut cultivates his Ardèche vineyards, preserving the original character of the granitic slopes where Syrah achieves an ethereal expression. Gentle maceration during vinification yields refined reds with pure fruit and a delicate texture, contrasting with the more robust profiles found in the northern Rhône Valley. Aging in old barrels maintains this transparency, allowing a consistent tension to emerge that supports the wines without hardening them. This results in a sensation of energetic, almost infused lightness, which defines the domain's style. A sensitive, patient approach that has profoundly influenced the new generation of Rhône winemakers.
