History
Born in the heart of the southern Rhône Valley, the Secret des Galets range celebrates the richness and diversity of its terroirs. Shaped by pebbly soils, the Mistral wind and a sunny climate, each wine captures the true essence of this remarkable region. This collection demonstrates the generosity and deep character of the Rhône Valley’s finest terroirs.
Terroir
The Côtes du Rhône terroir is made up of stony soils with a high clay and limestone content. The vines benefit from a regular supply of water and at night receive the heat that was stored in the soil during the day. The gently sloping south-facing hills allow the grapes to attain good maturity.
Winemaking
After complete destemming, the Syrah and Grenache varieties are vinified traditionally with a two-week maceration in a temperature-controlled environment. A small quantity of Syrah is vinified by carbonic maceration to boost the fruit potential.
