Saint-Joseph | Rouge | 2024

The Sainte Epine cuvée is produced on an exceptional terroir, located across from the iconic Hermitage hill. This cuvée is made exclusively from Syrah grapes grown on century-old vines, which benefit from an ideal south-southeast exposure. The winemaking process is characterized by a long maceration without destemming at low temperatures and the use of punch-downs, without the addition of additives, followed by one year of aging on fine lees, which preserves all the richness and depth of the wine.

Rhône Valley | France

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.
