Terroir :

The domaine’s vines are mainly on exposed hillsides South-South East, on a slightly stony but very clayey soil. They are trained, fed only with manure compost from sheepfold and conduits in accordance with the specifications of Organic Agriculture. Trellising and natural grassing promote maturity and aromatic expression.

Vinification :

The harvest is manual and partially destemmed to avoid green tannins. All the vinification was carried out without any sulphiting before bottling, hence the rates of very low SO2. Grenache vatting is fairly short, looking fruit. A little longer for Syrah in order to obtain the right tannins. Bottling takes place after one year.

Tasting Notes:

Intense garnet color. The aromas range from black cherry, blueberry and chocolate. The balance between freshness and power, characteristic of the Valréas appellation is present throughout the tasting, accompanied by the finesse of the tannins

Description

Val des Rois is a small family domain in Valréas. It’s the most Northern village of the Côtes du Rhône. The vineyards are managed by Emmanuel Romain, ninth generation wine grower. His father Romain came from Burgundy to Valréas in 1969.

Emmanuel originally trained as a biologist and combines tradition and modernity to produce delicate wines. His aim is to show the expression of terroir and the quality of the grapes. In 2013 the domain was awarded organic certification by Ecocert. The whole estate is free from use of synthetic products. Its soil is enriched only by organic matter.

The clay and limestone slopes are conducive to the expression of the wine. The relative altitude of 350 to 400 meters gives this terroir a balanced acidity and a delicacy of tannins specific to this appellation. The main varieties, Grenache and Syrah, are suited to the Mediterranean climate. The Mistral wind keeps the weather dry and mild, which is essential to the characteristics of the terroir. In total 10 Ha are exploited.

In 2020 Stéphane Vedeau’s Clos Bellane took over the exploitation of the winery. At Chabrol we’ve been in business with Stéphane since 2006. His two wineries Clos Bellane and La Ferme du Mont have been in our product line for years. We applaud the freshness and purity of this new accessible range of Val des Rois.
