The Rhone region will often blend several varieties of grapes like the Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The sub region in the north will sometimes blend Syrah grapes with white wine grapes. The white wines that are produced in the area are made from Marsanne, Viognier, and Roussane grapes. The northern appellations are much smaller and produce lower quantities than the sub-regions in the south. The far north sub region of the Rhone Valley is Cote Rotie, which is known for producing some of the best Syrah wines in the world. Wines in the North Region of the Rhone are also higher priced than wines in the south. The Southern Rhone Region uses a variety of grapes with Grenache being the most popular. Chateauneuf du Pape is the leading appellation in the Southern Rhone Region in France. Both regions are different and cover a large distance. Separated between Valance and Montelimar, the slopes in the north feature a continental climate while the sub-regions in the south have rocky and sand soils with warm winters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"grand-veneur-cotes-du-rhone-blanc-de-viognier-2012","title":"Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone blanc de Viognier 2012","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll older vintage wines have been purchased from a single collectors cellar.

Rich, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully textured on the palate, this is another terrific vintage for this cuve, which remains an incredible value in the market today.

This is where everything starts and where we focus our efforts throughout the year. You can't make great wine without great grapes.The viticulture is essentially done by hand. Five people work full-time in the vineyards. They are supplemented by seasonal employees who work during bunch thinning and the harvest in order to bring out the very best in our vines. Working by hand and the attention each vine gets are fundamental. Pruning, de-budding, trellising, leaf removal and picking are thus carried out by hand with the utmost care.We prepare the soil by using good old-fashioned ploughing. Organic compost is made from grape marc (the discarded stalks and skins).As a way of protecting the plants, we only use phytosanitary products when necessary and within strict guidelines by staggering the treatments , to minimise the amount of chemicals used. We prefer to use as much as possible manual and organic techniques . Leaving natural grass cover, removing buds and leaves from the vines, preserving bio ersity around the vineyard: olive, almond and cypress trees, wild rosemary and capers.In the spirit of respecting traditional techniques and the best elements of modern technology, cellar manager Andrew Hall and his winemaker son Romain Hall take family traditions very seriously.When making our wines, the Muscat de Beaumes de Venise plays a central and requires great care. After picking the grapes by hand, we press them straightaway to ferment the juice without skins. We don't add any yeasts and keep the alcoholic fermentation in check by temperature control. Vin Doux Naturel winemaking involves stopping fermentation to preserve the grapes' natural sweetness. During vinification, we watch the vats day and night and add the fortifying spirit just at the right moment. At this stage, the wine's final balance is at stake.

Our dream was to make wine in Chteauneuf du Pape, one of the first regions to inspire the desire to pursue winemaking in general, and of working with Grenache in particular.We developed a long-standing friendship with Anne-Charlotte Melia-Bachas, Proprietor of Chateau de la du Loup, who approached us with the idea to craft a wine together a number of years ago.This has all come to fruition with emBeatusem, a wine that we have decided to make ongoing, every year since tasting the exciting results of the first vintage in barrel.The vineyard parcel selected for this wine is a single plot of 80-year old Grenache at the top of La Crau in Chteauneuf du Pape, the highest location in the AOC. It sits on a north-facing slope that helps guard against the sometimes intense summer heat that can affect the surrounding areas.This plot is called Le Poteau and has been generously granted to us by Anne-Charlotte as the core of this wine, with supplementation of Syrah and Mourvdre from surrounding parcels also grown on the Chateau de la du Loup estate, to round out the blend.The winemaking is directed by myself and carried out by Anne-Charlotte, Stphane Dupuy d'Angeac and their team. It is our hope to bring you one of the finest expressions of Grenache from this special region each and every vintage.Yields from this block are very small due to the age of the vines, therefore only up to 100 cases of Beatus will be produced each year, depending on the conditions of the vintage.Our first release was in November of 2022. Winemaker Todd Alexander Review: Made in collaboration with Chateau de la Du Loup, the 2020 Beatus is an extraordinary bottling that rivals some of the top wines of this region. The nose is hugely perfumed with red rose petals, potpourri, sage and shades of red currants. The palate displays the same level of concentration as it does on the bouquet. Beautiful guava and ripe strawberry fruits parade with copious minerals and a sinfully good texture on the palate. Fresh and vibrant, this is just sensational stuff to enjoy in its heady youth.

On the nose, aromas of red and black ripe fruit (kirsch and wild blackberry). The mouth is full, with aromas of blackcurrant liqueur and spice. Tannins are both harmonious and elegant thanks to the fleshiness of the wine. Hints of licorice and vanilla on the finish, which gives the wine length and complexity. Soil type LIRAC vineyard is facing Chateauneuf du Pape, opposite side of the Rhne river. As showed by the picture and following geologist George Truc, soils are almost similar in both side. They are marked by the violence wrought by the Rhone river. It consists of a layer of marine molasses of the Miocene period covered by alpine alluvium. The presence of a great number of rounded stones known as galets in the earth is evidence of the time when the Rhone, then a torrent, tore fragments of rock from the Alps and deposited them on the plain. LIRAC is one of the up-coming best area from the southern Rhne valley, as it delivers outstanding wines. Winemaking ageing Traditional wine-making in stainless still vats.
