Hervé Souhaut Gamay La Souteronne 2020

From vines up to 90 years old in the Rhone Valley, this has cult status for a reason. And Hervé Souhaut is one of the most respected low-fi producers in the region. Fruit-forward drinking with tension and freshness, supported with darkness and drive. From granite soil it’s a little bit Beaujolais-like but uniquely Northern Rhone. 

Domaine Romaneaux Destezet is located in Ardèche, on the right bank of the Rhône, opposite the Hermitage hill. It was created in 1993 by Hervé Souhaut and has grown over the years by planting new vines and successive buyouts of various plots often planted with old vines (50 to 100 years old). The current surface area of ​​the estate is 5 hectares and Hervé Souhaut also has another activity of grape buying. The grape varieties used are of local origin and representative of the North of the Rhône Valley.
