This Hermitage Rouge comes from Syrah grapes grown in the vineyards owned by Tain l'Hermitage and conducted in Biodynamic. In the cellar the bunches are de-stemmed at 90%, the remaining non-de-stemmed part will favor a spontaneous fermentation without selected yeasts; the macerations last 20 days and the refinement is carried out in 500 liter barrels for over a year and a half.
A great duo the one of Jean Rene Dard and Francois Ribo formed in the early eighties. The two colleagues started with a small plot of land of just one hectare in the village of Mercurol. It started right away with today's ideas but very avant-garde times. In 1984 their first vintage came out and already from that vintage fermentations are spontaneous, sulfur dioxide almost totally absent, there is no temperature control and only copper and sulfur are used in the vineyard. Basically a single goal that is stubbornly pursued today with the same principles: to enhance the terroir with easy-drinking wines, because wine must be drunk.
