2022 Crozes-Hermitage Les Coulaires, Domaine Vendome

Romain Roudier’s family has been rooted in the Northern Rhône village of Larnarge, just north of Tain l’Hermitage, for generations. Apricot, cherry and lavender farming was the key focus of their 20-hectare property, but Romain’s arrival in 2010 brought with it a passion to cultivate vines. He has been independently bottling his own wines at their new on-site winery since the 2020 vintage, with 2021 being his first to have organic certification. The domaine`s wines are anchored on finesse and purity, having natural charm.
