Hervé Souhaut La Souteronne 2019: A Pure Expression of Gamay from Ardèche

The Hervé Souhaut La Souteronne 2019 is a distinctive red wine from the granite slopes of Ardèche, in the northern Rhône Valley. Hervé Souhaut, known for his commitment to natural winemaking, follows a low-intervention approach to showcase the purity and elegance of the fruit.

This wine is made from 100% Gamay, sourced from old vines that provide exceptional aromatic concentration. Whole-cluster fermentation and gentle vinification techniques result in a light, yet deeply expressive wine.

Its translucent red hue with violet reflections immediately signals the finesse of Gamay. The nose is vibrant and intense, revealing aromas of raspberry, sour cherry, violet, and white pepper, with a delicate smoky undertone. On the palate, the attack is juicy and fresh, supported by lively acidity and silky tannins, leading to a long, spicy finish.

This elegant and digestible Gamay pairs beautifully with roast poultry, artisan charcuterie, or aged goat cheese. A pure and expressive wine, perfect for lovers of refined and effortless drinking experiences.
