Presentation
This name, Prieur Saint-Julien, pays tribute to the history of the priors who travelled and stopped by the vineyards in order to meditate in the various priories along the Rhône Valley. This name is in keeping with the desire and commitment of Maison Sinnae to pass on the heritage and terroir of the Rhône to future generations.
The vintage
The 2023 vintage, despite a dry winter, witnessed the vines beginning their cycle. A rainy spring energized growth, especially for the Grenache. Summer heat exceeding 40°C affected yields, but the grape quality remains excellent, resulting in robust red wines, aromatic whites, and a vibrant character for the rosés.
