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

The 2022 vintage was characterised by a very dry winter, with the vegetative cycle of the vines resuming very early in March. Spring saw abundant flowering, but was marked in June by severe hail in and around Laudun, which affected many plots. The summer was very dry, resulting in a high-quality harvest, with beautifully aromatic rosés, reds with high tannin potential and rich, flavoursome whites.

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.
