Hervé Souhaut - Domaine Romaneaux Destezet
Sainte Epine 2024
Saint-Joseph | Red | 2024
The Sainte Epine cuvée is produced on an exceptional terroir, located opposite the iconic Hermitage hill. This cuvée is made exclusively from Syrah grapes grown on century-old vines, benefiting from an ideal south-southeast exposure. The winemaking process is distinguished by a long maceration without destemming at low temperatures and the use of punch-downs, without the addition of any additives, followed by a year of aging on fine lees, preserving all the richness and depth of the wine.

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.
