After a dry winter, with the soil mineralising under the best possible conditions, the early spring was marked by frosts which had a severe impact on the Côtes du Rhône vineyards. Despite this, the terroirs of Maison Sinnae were relatively spared, which enabled the vegetative cycle to get underway with average earliness. The rather rainy spring gave rise to abundant flowering. This produced fresh, taut rosés, powerful, tannic reds and an exceptional white vintage.
Presentation
Presentation
This cuvée, Camp Romain, pays tribute to the Camp de César overlooking the villages of Laudun and Chusclan. It was the painter Albert André, a post-impressionist, whose attachment to Laudun and its wines led him to design the very first label for this cuvée in 1951. Since then, vintage after vintage, Maison Sinnae has paid tribute to the great painter he was. This cuvée is part of Maison Sinnae's desire and commitment to pass on to future generations the heritage and terroir of the Rhône.
