Guillaume Gonnet is not your average Rhône winemaker. He is has a boundary-challenging approach extends far beyond wine from his extensive travels (he learned his craft in various Australian and New Zealand) Returning to the Rhône with his Australian wife Kelly, Guillaume has put similar energy into his family estate and his new-found enthusiasm for Grenache-based wines.
The estate pursues biodynamics wherever possible, allowing the fruit to express itself freely through hands-off winemaking and displaying a fascination for the varying soils of the Rhône in his diverse wines. Soils are made up of round pebbles on the surface, sand, clay and limestone. The vines are very old and average 50 to 90 years old and planted at a density of 3500 vines per HA, planted on a South East facing vineyard. All grapes are hand harvested.
Vinified and aged in various types of container. 30% pyramid shaped concrete vats, 30% wooden vats, 30% stainless steel, 10% demi muids (600L) barrels.
Tasting Note: A red and black fruit bouquet of cherries and blackberries, a hint of garrigue, liquorice and spice. A fine wine. This wine will open up beautifully (decanter at least 1 hour before serving).
Food match: A versatile food partner from game, red meats, coq au vin, duck or sausage.
