Presentation

Presentation
Our « Hommage à Jérôme Quiot » are wines which, by their fruity side are approachable to many amateurs. They put forward their characteristics of the appellation they belong to. We chose to make these wines “Pleasure Wines“ combining the terroirs tradition and a fruity trend for a wise and relaxed consumption.
Location
Follow the river ! Along its meanders and gentle banks, the Côtes du Rhône appellation vineyards extend over 171 towns and rich and varied terroirs… under the same generous sun. Take the time to explore them: all surprise with their diversity and the strength of their character. Among them, we often detect unsuspected gems.

Because one thing is sure: the appellation wines are all generous, fine, nice and spicy.
