Côtes-du-Rhône Tonneaux Aurélien et Charlotte Houillon 2017

Domaine Aurélien and Charlotte Houillon was founded at Faucon, in the Vaucluse, in 2017. Just like his brother, Aurélien trained at Domaine Pierre Overnoy, before following up his experience in Switzerland and then launching into the task of starting his own domain with his wife. The vineyard spans 9 hectares at the foot of Mont Ventoux. The soils are worked mechanically and fertiliser from the property's animals is used. As we can imagine from the Aurélien's history, everything to do with vinification is natural, all the way down to the label! Charlotte is a specialist in ancient manuscripts and has learnt how to make paper from vegetal matter. The wines from this young property are promising, offering at once power and amazing fruit. A domain to discover and follow closely!
