Les Costes Nobles Terres, AOC Côtes du Rhône, White, 2023

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.
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.
