I had this wine twice in two nights at Scotch Bar, Blenheim. It’s from Herv\u00e9 Souhaut’s\u00a0Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet, which is based in Arlebosc in the Ard\u00e8che, just west of Tain l’Hermitage. Indeed, as well as his Ard\u00e8che holdings, Herv\u00e9 has some vines in the northern Rh\u00f4ne, with a total of 5 hectares altogether. He started out in 1990, after he’d spent a year working with northern Rh\u00f4ne natural wine stars Dard et Ribo, and he actually has the press that was used by Jules Chauvet, the father of natural wine. This Gamay is from the Ard\u00e8che vineyards, where he has 1.4 hectares of old vines (60-80 years old) that yield a miserly 25 hl\/ha. It’s made by partial carbonic maceration with whole bunches, and then aged in old oak for eight months. Herv\u00e9 uses very little SO2 (with a total of only 25 mg\/litre, with the only addition being at bottling), yet his wines are very pure. Natural wine at its finest.<\/p>\n

\n14% alcohol. This shows lovely freshness and focus with bright raspberry and cherry fruit alongside some fresh plums and grippy structure. Real focus and finesse here with fine herbs and juicy raspberries. This is harmonious and pure, with nice fruit presence, and it’s a joy to drink. 93\/100<\/p>\n\n
