The Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet was created in 1993 by Hervé Souhaut. His holdings on the acidic granite soils of the northern Rhone and the southern Ardèche are a mixture of new and ancient vinesÃ‘from 50 to100 years old. Hervé Souhaut's holdings are minuscule, only five hectares and he employs only organic and biodynamic winemaking techniques. The Souteronne is made from only old Gamay grapes. The vines are between 60 to 80 years old. The winemaking involves a long maceration at low temperature, without destemming the grapes and the juice is matured on the fine lees, in second-hand oak casks. It is then bottled without filtration. The SO2 is less than 25mg/l when bottled. This is a truly superb Gamay with a lovely mineral edge.
