    Owner and history

    The "Domaine des Tourettes" vineyard, in the Hermitage appellation, extends across three communes in the heart of the Drôme: Tain-l'Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, and Larnage. This cuvée is thus made from a blend of three parcels named "l'Ermite," "le Sabot," and the prestigious "Bessards" terroir. The 134 hectares of Syrah flourish on soil made up of granitic sands covered with mica schist and benefit from plenty of sunshine.
