Premiere Lecture 2024
Tournon-sur-Rhône, valle del Doux
100% Merlot grown on granitic soil from a vineyard at an altitude of 450 meters. To extract maximum freshness, 80% of the grapes were vinified using direct pressing, while the remaining portion underwent a one-week fermentative maceration and was subsequently decanted like a white wine.
The result is a very juicy and fruity wine with light spicy notes. An atypical Merlot: tense, refined, and with a very interesting citrusy "chewiness"
Etienne Seignovert
Etienne Seignovert, a winemaker in the Northern Rhône Valley about 20km west of Tain l’Hermitage, released his first vintage in 2020. After a tour of France to study first in Beaune and then in Montpellier, he decided to gain experience by working at various domaines before returning to the family property in Saint Barthélémy le Plain.
This area of the Doux Valley is particularly suited to viticulture, and he aims to create thoughtful wines that express freshness and delicacy. The goal is to establish a polyculture farm with an agroforestry structure, in full respect of biodiversity, with only one idea at the heart of the activity: the wine.
