Hervé works 5 hectares of old & ancient vines— 50 to 100 years-old—located on the right bank of the Rhône Valley just opposite the storied hills of Hermitage. 30 year-old vines, some of the fruit is purchased from neighboring growers

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

Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a very long maceration at a low temperature—without destemming the fruit.

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.
