Wine for sale: De Fauterie
De Fauterie
Domaine de Fauterie, which was founded in 1981 and is located in Saint-Péray in the Ardèche, consists of hillside and terraced plots above the left bank of the Rhône. Since its creation, the vineyard has been impeccably managed by Sylvain Bernard, and now covers nine hectares of vines in the region’s emblematic appellations, including Cornas, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray and Côtes du Rhône. The winemaker, always seeking to produce authentic and surprising flavours, never ceases to refine his viticulture and vinification techniques to preserve the personality of the terroir. The vines are cultivated by hand all year round, and vinification is carried out naturally. Some of his Saint Joseph vines are around thirty years old, while those in Cornas are over 100 years old. This great diversity of soils, ages and exposure all contribute to creating wines with widely differing aromatic profiles, establishing the winemaker as one of the region’s most emblematic names.
