2022 Clusel-Roch Vin de France "Sur le Mont", Rhône Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Sur le Mont is a White field blend from various parcels of vines planted in Ampuis and Saint Cyr Sur le Rhone (a couple towns up the river from Ampuis) - Roussanne, Viognier, Altesse, and Clairette. Guillaume is always experimenting and really liked the combination of these varieties. The grapes are pressed, followed by cold-settling. Fermentation in steel tank with indigenous yeasts, followed by malo-lactic. 1 years elevage in barrels and steel tank. Light fining & filtration before bottling.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Back in the nineteen fifties René and Joséphine Clusel l began cultivating vegetables, fruit trees and Côte-Rôtie vines, like many other farmers in the Ampuis region, and they sold the wine in bottles. This was a time when Côte-Rôtie wines did not yet enjoy their current reputation, but René Clusel's Côte-Rôtie was very popular with connoisseurs.
The estate is currently run by Guillaume Clusel, Gilbert Clusel and Brigitte Roch.
It has 20 hectares of vines, on three historic vineyards of the Lyonnais, Ampuis (AOC Côte-Rôtie, AOC Côtes-du-Rhône and Vin de France), Condrieu (AOC Condrieu), Millery (AOC Coteau du Lyonnais).
