Accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003eLuís Lopes\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJoão Costa\u003c\/strong\u003e from the \u003cstrong\u003eDomínio do Açor\u003c\/strong\u003e team, we travelled through the Rhône with a specific purpose: to deepen our understanding of \u003cstrong\u003egranite soils\u003c\/strong\u003e and bring new insights to our work in the Dão. It became one of the most memorable and inspiring wine trips we have ever experienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring that week, we visited some of the Rhône's most legendary producers, including \u003cstrong\u003ePierre Gonon\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRené Rostaing\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJamet\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAuguste Clape\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFranck Balthazar\u003c\/strong\u003e, estates that have shaped the identity of the region and continue to define excellence in Northern Rhône wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, we revisited two long-standing passions that we had hoped for years to bring to Temple Wines. The first was the extraordinary biodynamic white wines of \u003cstrong\u003eGeorges Vernay\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the defining names of Condrieu and a benchmark for Viognier worldwide. The second was \u003cstrong\u003eDomaine Marc Sorrel\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose profound Hermitage wines represent, in our view, one of the very few estates capable of standing alongside the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eJean-Louis Chave\u003c\/strong\u003e. The estate's flagship Hermitage recently received a perfect \u003cstrong\u003e100-point score from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e, further confirming its place among the world's greatest Syrahs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection of \u003cstrong\u003eRhône Valley wines\u003c\/strong\u003e is the result of that experience, that research and our deep admiration for a region of remarkable identity and diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere you will find wines that capture the essence of the Rhône: powerful yet nuanced reds, profound and age-worthy whites, and bottles that express terroir with extraordinary clarity. These wines reflect not only the region's geological richness but also the personalities, traditions and philosophies that make the Rhône one of the most compelling wine regions in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the granite slopes of the Northern Rhône to some of France's most historic vineyards, this selection brings together wines that continue to inspire us through their authenticity, energy and sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor us, the Rhône is more than a great wine region. It is a region that constantly teaches, surprises and rewards those willing to explore its extraordinary diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"marc-sorrel-crozes-hermitage-blanc-2023","title":"Marc Sorrel Crozes-Hermitage Blanc 2023","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 20\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-start=\"160\" data-end=\"195\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"162\" data-end=\"193\"\u003eCrozes-Hermitage Blanc 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"196\" data-end=\"245\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"196\" data-end=\"245\"\u003eDomaine Marc Sorrel · Northern Rhône · France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"247\" data-end=\"250\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"252\" data-end=\"274\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"255\" data-end=\"274\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"603\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"289\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine Marc Sorrel\u003cbr data-start=\"309\" data-end=\"312\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"312\" data-end=\"323\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône Valley, France\u003cbr data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"374\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"374\" data-end=\"390\"\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e AOC Crozes-Hermitage\u003cbr data-start=\"411\" data-end=\"414\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"414\" data-end=\"426\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"434\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"452\"\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Marsanne (old vines)\u003cbr data-start=\"478\" data-end=\"481\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"498\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation and ageing in used French oak barrels\u003cbr data-start=\"549\" data-end=\"552\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"562\"\u003eSoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay-limestone with kaolinite presence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"608\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"635\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"635\"\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"1089\"\u003eSince 1928, Domaine Marc Sorrel has produced exceptional wines on the famed Hermitage hill in Tain-l’Hermitage.
