Saint Jean du Barroux
Rhône (Côtes du Ventoux)
Organic and bio-dynamic farming
The wines of Saint Jean du Barroux are romantically created by winegrower and oenologist Philippe Gimel, a former pharmacist who uses organic and bio-dynamic farming practices in the vineyards. All grapes are hand picked and de-stemmed by hand. Le Barroux is a little Provencal town next to Beaume de Venise and in between the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Mont Ventoux. Saint Jean du Barroux is a wine that presents the terroir of its origin in the best way. The wine doesn’t imitate but showing the unique soil, the underground and the climatology of the hill which brings a differentiation in grape variety and then the wines. The great mineral composition in the wine well expressed these differences.
