Passionate about her Domaine and wine-making, this quote below by Claire Clavel, really sums her up – "I want to make authentic wines that express well the local terroirs. I love sharing them with you. That's wine: sharing, conviviality, gastronomy . . . " Vineyards and Winemaking - St Gervais based on the western side of the Rhone sees a mix of clay, stony and sandy soils on a cool, windy plateau which give the wines notable qualities - expressive, an elegant lightness and smooth textures. She also follows strict sustainability practices. Grapes – 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah Tasting note - The nose is expressive with candied fruits, sweet spices and touch of smokiness. The palate is round and concentrated, wrapped in silky tannins and a slight touch of wood.
