Hervé Souhaut - Domaine Romaneaux Destezet
Clos Cessieux 2023
Saint-Joseph | Red | 2023
This Syrah expresses the full richness of its granitic terroir. The 32-year-old vines flourish on a coastal plot with a helical topography, benefiting from varied sun exposure. Thanks to controlled fermentation at low temperatures and careful aging on lees in barrels for eight months, this wine develops a complex and refined structure. Its meticulous preparation requires decanting for two hours to fully release its subtle aromas.

Hervé Souhaut - Domaine Romaneaux Destezet
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.
