Hervé Souhaut is one of the most respected minimal interventionist producers in the Rhone Valley. He started his operation in 1993 with a tiny five hectare holding of 50-100 year old vines in Northern Rhône and the southern Ardèche.
He farms his plots meticulously and organically - transmitting a sense of place with absolute clarity through his considered hands-off approach to winemaking. The wines all display a raw energy that has seen them become favourites amongst many collectors around the world. This is the Rhone Valley re-imagined by a modern master.
Souhaut is a master of controlling textures in his red wines, keeping the palate light and fresh whilst harnessing the density and power of his fruit. This presents as wonderfully aromatic with purple flowers, crushed rocks, dark forest fruits and smooth, suede tannin. It's a gorgeous, seductive representation of Syrah
