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 "Les Petites Parcelles" honours its terroir. Les Genets is the result of a meticulous selection of plots, in order to allow our winegrowers who work these plots to sublimate their terroirs by making a qualitative wine that is representative of the wines from the Côtes du Rhône village Chusclan appellation.
Terroir
This cuvée comes from the most qualitative terroirs of the Chusclan appellation with limestone terraces, stony plateaus and rolled pebbles («galets roulés») on the plain. This soil diversity combined with the dry and hot climate of the region are a guarantee of quality from one vintage to the next.
