Made with home cooked meals in mind.

The name Ciel D’Orage means, “stormy sky,” in English and we think that suits this wine and its contemplative qualities perfectly. A composition of 70% Gamay for softness, 20% Syrah for a spicy kick and 10% Pinot Noir for added complexity. This wine comes from the hidden gem of an appellation, Collines Rhodaniennes just above the Northern Rhône.

Pierre-Andre and Anne Deplaude consider themselves farmers first, and wine was actually an afterthought after operating a thriving grainery and dairy farm.
In the early 2000s a drop in milk prices instigated a shift in their priorities, and they decided to take some of their most interesting land and convert it to vineyards.
The Deplaudes made the conversion to Biodynamic Viticulture in 2009.
The vines for this cuvée are from 15 to 45 years old, and rest for 8 months in stainless steel vats for a fresh and drinkable style.
