Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

Named “Lône” after the small stream that runs next to the estate, parallel to the Rhône (this term is used to describe small offshoots of the Rhône in the Provencal language).

Vinification

The varietals were vinified together. Pressed directly, and cooled to 54ºF for 24 hours, then settled, racked and fermented (12 days) at just over 57ºC in stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation. Unoaked.
