Overview

Les Routes is 100% Serine, a variety that is either an old clone of Syrah or a very close relative. Better known in the Northern Rhône Valley, this variety was planted by Julien’s grandfather from bud wood he got from his friend Jacques Reynaud from his vineyards at Fonsalette, Jacques in turn, got it from Gerard Chave. Planted on an exposed site on the plains of Gigondas, this parcel of Serine is exposed to nearly constant winds resulting in low yields (usually well under 20hl/ha) of small clusters and tiny berries. 200 cases are made in an average vintage.
