Les Terriens, Rhône Valley wines from Chavanay
Fine Rhône Valley wines, made and aged in Chavanay.
A shared passion: wine
Les Terriens was born of a shared passion: wine… All year round, the vines are closely tended and given the greatest care. The grapes are harvested by hand, with quality and respect for the vines in mind, once they have reached perfect ripeness. In the winery, destemming, punching down, pumping over and temperature control all play their part. Ageing – the final stage – takes place in oak barrels, in demi-muids (600-litre casks) or in a tapered vat.
The Les Terriens cellar is located in the Rhône Valley in Chavanay, where our red and white wines are made and aged: Brézème, Viognier, Syrah, Saint-Joseph, Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie.
The constant quest of Les Terriens… Authenticity.
Four steps, no shortcuts
Every wine follows the same path, from the plot to the barrel.
By hand
The grapes are picked when ripe, often on slopes too steep for machines.
Destemming
The bunches are destemmed, then sorted on a vibrating table before going into the vat.
Punching down and pumping over
Maceration is monitored day after day, with temperature control.
Barrels and demi-muids
Ageing takes place in oak barrels, in demi-muids or in a tapered vat.
