The wines of the Marc Sorrel estate
The very famous Marc Sorrel estate owes its creation, in 1928, to Marc Sorrel's grandfather, following the purchase of 2 parcels of vines, in the Hermitage hill in the Rhone: Les Rocoules (in white wine) and Le Meal. At the time, he told himself that operating such parcels cost more than what was worth. Marc Sorrel then took over the management of the estate in 1982, considerably increasing his notoriety thanks to some opportunities to purchase other parcels in the best locations on the Hermitage hill: Les Greffieux and Les Bessards; and his son Guillaume is now in charge of the winemaking and the future of the Marc Sorrel estate.
