The Etrati

Hervé Souhaut cultivates his Ardèche vineyards, preserving the original spirit of the granite slopes where Syrah finds an ethereal expression. Gentle maceration vinification yields elegant reds with limpid fruit and a delicate texture that contrasts with the more robust profiles of the northern valley. Aging in old barrels maintains this transparency, allowing a consistent tension to emerge, carrying the wines without making them harsh. There is a sensation of energetic lightness, almost infused, that defines the estate's style. This sensitive, patient approach has profoundly influenced the new generation of Rhône winemakers.
