Vignobles Famille Quiot, Sablet

A wine that has all the makings of a great one !

Presentation

Presentation
The Quiot family has been winegrowers since 1748. Today, Florence and Jean-Baptiste, the 13th generation, are at the head of the estates which are all located in the Southern Rhône Valley and Provence. It is a set made up of several domains, each having its own independence, its typicity, its soul, its history and its aromatic profile.
Location
Built on a sandy hillock which gave it its name, this typically Provençal village is home to narrow streets and strange staircases with uneven steps. Its vineyard, with gentle slopes and an elongated silhouette, thrives on sandy soils, decalcified red clay and pebbles of varying sizes. The Dentelles de Montmirail, at the foot of which it is located, protect the 300 hectares of vines covered by this appellation.
Sablet acquired its letters of nobility, Côtes du Rhône Villages communal, in 1974.
