Terroir: The elegance of the Côtes-du-Rhône from Domaine St Patrice comes from the complementarity of the terroirs that compose it. Gravelly subsoils, red clay and sandstone, covered with gravel or rolled pebbles set to music a unique balance.

Vinification and ageing:
Whole crops apply for 40% depending on the grape varieties. Pre-fermentation maceration and alcoholic fermentation are done in concrete tanks exclusively. Light pumping-over and infusion of grape residues for close to five weeks. Ageing in concrete vats and large French-oak barrels (foudre) for 14 months. Wines are bottled during the spring and stored in the cellars for a full year before sale.
