Hervé SOUHAUT Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet |
The Domaine
|
|
The Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet was
created in 1993 by Herve Souhaut. It was constituted progressively with the years
by the plantation of new vines and the successive purchases of various and
often old vines (from 50 to 100 years old).The current surface of the Domaine
is 5 ha. An additional activity of purchase of grapes makes it to-day
possible to reach a total annual production of approximately 25.000 bottles |
The Grape Variety
|
The type of vines used are of local origin and
representative of the Northern Rhone valley : Viognier and Roussanne for the
white wines, Syrah and Gamay for the red wines .Geologically, the soil is
consisted of a strong acidic granite (base hercynien, crystalline lens). |
|
Sensitive from the very start of his activity
by the need for maturing wines the most natural way possible in order to
express the potential of the soil, Herve Souhaut moved towards the production
of grapes resulting from a respect for the environment and for the
agriculture. But convinced that one should not stop at this stage, he
decided, under the impulse of wine grower followers of the natural wine
making and helped by his training as a biologist, to produce wines without
additives. |
