Convinced that the interactions of living organisms are beneficial to the vineyard, favouring, among other things, crop auxiliaries, we have established the protection of the Clos Gounon ruin, its forest, and its meadow. This 7-hectare wildlife reservoir, in the heart of our Thalabert vineyard, is the first LPO biodiversity refuge in the Drôme.
Our winemakers recommends storing bottles in the dark, at temperature between 12-15°c and with a humidity level of over 70%.
Ideal serving temperature is around 12 to 14°C.
