La Souteronne

Herb encrusted roast chicken, veal chops, pork loin, braised ox tail, aged sausages, cheeses and roasted root vegetables.

Vines are 60 to 80 years old planted on Schist soil.

The wine is fermented in wooden tanks and aged on fine lees in secondhand oak casks for eight months.

Hervé Souhaut created Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet in 1993. Hervé works 5-hectares of old and ancient vines—between 50 to 100 years old. He is very fortunate to own two vineyards in the Rhône Valley just opposite the storied hills of Hermitage in Saint Joseph. The winery is underneath the 16th century “les romaneaux” fortified farm and sits in the middle of the vines that make up the Souteronne Syrah and white cuvées.
