Gamay’s more serious side.

The Herve Souhaut “La Souteronne” is made of 100% Gamay from the Northern Rhône. Sure, you’ll definitely get all that bright red fruit and minerality that's typical of this happy little grape, but there’s also a darker, smoky quality to this wine. Drink this bad boy if you want something a little more serious than your usual chuggable Bojo.

Hervé Sohaut and his wife Béatrice created Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet in 1993; and he oversees 5 hectares of ancient vines between 50-100 years old that look out over Hermitage.
Hervé’s goal as a vigneron is to craft drinkable wines that are balanced between freshness, fruit, acidity and tannin.
The Gamay vines are 60 to 80 years old, and are organically farmed prior to being harvested by hand and vinified during a very long, cold maceration period.
The wine is fermented in wooden tanks and aged in wooden barrels on the lees for an extended period of time.
