Domaine les 4 Vents - formerly Domaine de Lucie - lies in Mercurol in the heart of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Lucie Fourel moved here in 2006, not far from her parents who supplied grapes to the Cave at Tain l'Hermitage. She converted her 4-hectare vineyard to organic in 2007 but didn't release her first vintage until 2010 (until then she supplied a cooperative). Lucie's sister, Nancy, joined her in 2013 and when their parents retired in 2015 they took over their 6 hectare vineyard and renamed the business Domaine les 4 Vents. The property is fully certified as organic and the wines are made with indigenous yeasts and no additives. This very interesting domain is definitely one to watch!

A single-variety Marsanne wine from 40-year-old vines cultivated in the south of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Direct pressing, vinification in vats and demi-muid barrels, and 10 months' maturation in the same containers: these are the stages of production behind the production of this cuvée. The drinker is immediately charmed by its beautiful golden yellow colour. On the nose, floral notes vie for attention, enlivened with honey aromas. In the mouth, this structured wine offers an attractive richness and beautiful length that ends with notes of dried fruits. Sensational with marinated poultry with citrus fruits and almonds.
