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, the Costes Nobles Terres, bears this name in homage to the vineyards belonging to the Lord of Gicon, which had the common feature of being situated on a hillside. All of this led the winegrowers to name these parcels Costes Nobles Terres, Costes referring to the hillsides and Nobles Terres referring to their seigneurial ownership. This name is in line with the desire and commitment of Maison Sinnae to pass on to future generations the heritage and terroir of the Rhône.
