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
Villa Caesar is inspired by the passionate love Caesar had for his very first wife, Cornelia Sinnae, symbolised by this mosaic found on the Gallo-Roman Oppidum overlooking the villages of Laudun and Chusclan.
It is this same passion that has animated us in the creation of this cuvée, fashioned for the pleasure of the most demanding palates.
