Domaine de l'Echevin - Guillaume de Rouville 2017
Ancestor of the Fabre family, Guillaume de Rouville was a noble and respected magistrate who was Alderman of Lyon in 1589. Passionate, he operated several wine-growing areas and also had a special affection for the culture of silk. This wine is a tribute to his nobility and his passion.
Guillaume de Rouville Rouge is a blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Grenache. The harvest is partially destemmed and crushed in its entirety, then vatted by gravity. Half is raised in a small tun and the other half in demi-muids. The wine itself is the only master of the duration of its aging, on average fifteen months.
