Hervé Souhaut - L'Etrati - White 2022
Domaine Hervé Souhaut/Romaneaux-Destezet is located in Ardèche , on the right bank of the Rhône opposite the Hermitage hill. It was created in 1993 by Hervé Souhaut and has grown over the years through the planting of new vines and the successive purchases of various plots often planted with old vines (50 to 100 years old). Hervé Souhaut, a trained biologist who has become a passionate and respected winemaker, cultivates his vines biodynamically without certification , using cultivation methods that respect the environment. The vineyards are mainly planted with local grape varieties such as Syrah, Gamay or Roussanne. The harvesting of the grapes is done manually, and the vinification process is minimalist , letting the native yeasts play their role and avoiding the addition of chemical additives.
Etrati is made from Roussanne , from hillsides located in the Saint-Joseph appellation. After direct pressing, the wine is aged in barrels on fine lees.
Grape variety: 100% Roussanne
