Oppidum Cuvée Excellence, AOC Côtes du Rhône, Red, 2023

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.

Presentation

Presentation
This cuvée takes its name from the Gallo-Roman oppidum overlooking the village of Laudun, on which an ancient village with a forum and a basilica have been discovered. By naming this cuvée in this way, Maison Sinnae wants to pay tribute to the Roman activity that energised this right bank of the Rhone valley and that brought the culture of wine. This cuvée is part of Maison Sinnae's desire and commitment to pass on to future generations the heritage and terroir of the Rhône.
