AOP Côte-Rôtie “Le Truchet” 2021 - Domaine Eymin-Tichoux
WINE
Vintage: 2021
Red color
Quantity: 75cl
The Côte-Rôtie “Le Truchet” vintage is made by Sophie and Kevin, from Domaine Eymin-Tichoux, where respect for the terroir is a priority to be able to offer their customers high-quality products. They are also present in the vineyards of Condrieu, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint Joseph and Vitis Vienna .
This Côte-Rôtie comes from a very small plot of 0.3 hectares, it is located on the hillsides of the town of Ampuis, on the Le Truchet plot, cradle of the Côte-Rôtie vineyard. The vines are anchored on a soil composed of mica schists typical of this vineyard.
The plot benefits from a south-southwest exposure. This orientation is optimal for the quality of the grapes and their maturity, which is clearly benefited by this exposure. It also allows for a sanitary quality of the harvest, thus avoiding a large number of treatments against vine diseases, which corresponds to the philosophy of the estate which works in organic farming.
The maintenance of the vines is done manually, with the advantageous help of their horse to help them during the various work on the vines, if the topography of the plot allows it.
Following traditional vinification of the wine, the vintage will be aged for 18 months in barrels, 20% of which in new wood.
You will find notes of leather, smoke or even violet characteristic of Syrah on these magnificent terroirs, such as for example on the Côte-Rôtie Château de Montlys of Christophe SEMASKA, the touch of these two winegrowers enhancing these attributes.
DOMAIN
Start from scratch and create your Domain. This is what Sophie Eymin and Kévin Tichoux have just achieved. After studying viticulture and oenology, they work in different fields in France and abroad in order to acquire different working methods. They then returned to France and settled in 2015, in Seyssuel in Isère. The same year, the couple planted their first vines on a plot spread over both banks of the Rhône. On the right bank, characterized by steep slopes and granite soils, the Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu vintages are produced. On the other side of the Rhône, on hillsides of schist, quartz and granite, the couple produces Arène, l'Avant-Première, IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Seyssuel vintages, as well as two other vintages, Cap Syrah and Crozes-Hermitage.
The four hectares of vines are managed organically. “We have always worked in organic farming and we will obtain our certification for the 2021 vintage,” recalls Sophie Eymin. Faced with slopes, sometimes very steep, the horse is used for tilling the soil. “We are most of the time in our vineyards,” says the winegrower. It's the grapes that do everything, it's essential to have beautiful grapes to make a good wine. »
At Domaine Eymin-Tichoux, the grapes from four hectares of vines are vinified on site in Seyssuel. Upon arrival at the cellar, the bunches are sorted then destemmed or not depending on the vintage. Then, these bunches are pressed or directly placed in stainless steel vats to carry out alcoholic fermentation. “Depending on the vintages and vintages, the wines are then aged in the barrels of one or more wines, or in demi-muid or even in frustoconical barrels,” indicates Sophie Eymin.
To go further in their environmentally friendly initiatives, the couple uses unprinted recycled cardboard that they stamp themselves with their wine, and also paper tape. A whole universe that they now wish to share with the general public by offering them visits to the vineyards.
