Côtes-du-Rhône Villages 'Pierre De Lune', Le Ferme Du Mont

Product Description

Stephane Vedeau owns this 50-hectare estate & heads up a youthful team. Enthusiasm is the order of the day here. All the vines are cultivated with a regards to the environment & so no herbicides or pesticides are used. We visited the cellars on the day that the mobile bottling plant had arrived & France were playing in the World Cup. It was chaos. We tasted in a corridor with people dashing to fetch capsules or to hurry over to the TV to catch up on the latest score. Stephane's wines shone through & comments, In order to allow the full expression of a terroir both maritime & continental which is associated with the rounded stones found in this region, our Côtes du Rhône is matured in traditional concrete tubs, out of contact with the air, for at least 8 months. This purist approach allows the tertiary aromas unique to this region to develop fully.
