Domaine Les 4 Vents Description

The Pitchounettes Rouge is characterised by ripe black fruits - blackberry, blackcurrant and black plum, complimented with well integrated oak flavours (cedar, vanilla and tobacco) and added complexity from smoky pepper aromas typical of the Syrah grape. A very good value, organic, low sulphur and fully bodied Crozes-Hermitage.

The cuvée “Pitchounettes” is produced from relatively young vines near the village of Mercurol. The soil is a sandy-silty alluvial clay with a lot of surface river stones/pebbles. The yields are very low, typically around 30hl/ha and the harvesting is done by hand.

The grapes are de-stemmed and then the juice is left to macerate with the skins for three weeks but with very little movement either in the form of pumping over or pushing down the cap.

The wine is then allowed to mature and settle for 6 to 8 months in stainless steel tanks and 5 year old demi-muids (600L). The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.
