Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet, under the stewardship of Hervé Souhaut, meticulously cultivates wines using vines aged 50 to 100 years, spread across 5 hectares in the esteemed Rhone Valley and the Northern Ardeche region. Here, Souhaut applies his scientific background and oenological training from Lapierre and Pacalet to birth wines that stand unique in their combination of immediate drinkability and impressive longevity.
Souhaut's approach to vinification is characterized by semi-carbonic maceration of whole grape bunches. This technique aids in preserving the liveliness and intensity of the grapes while allowing for a balanced tannin extraction, contrasting to the traditionally robust Rhone wines.
The Syrah cuvée, as well as the La Souteronne (sourced from old-vine Gamay), are the epitome of Souhaut's philosophy. These wines showcase the breadth of their respective varietals' characteristics while emphasizing a balance of depth, freshness, and sensory indulgence.
The St. Joseph Clos des Cessieux is a remarkable manifestation of the Syrah grape variety. It portrays a robust display of purple fruit and floral notes that remain firmly embedded in the palate's memory. In contrast, the Sainte-Epine, cultivated from centenarian vines on a steep slope, is characterized by a profound spectrum of dark fruit notes, complemented by an underlying meaty quality. Ardeche Blanc, an unconventional blend of Viognier and Roussanne for the region, offers a delightful interplay of surprising freshness and intricate, lacy textures.
Each wine from Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet, undergoing long, low-temperature maceration without destemming and aged on fine lees in second-hand oak casks, is a testament to Souhaut's commitment to purity, finesse, and natural wine practices. The result is a collection of wines that impress with their vibrant fruit expression, balanced tannins, and potential to evolve, presenting an unmissable opportunity for any wine connoisseur.

In Stock orders going out via Local Same Day placed before 2pm (pst) on business days will go out the same day. Weather permitting, In Stock orders going out via FedEx, Climate Controlled Ground and Temperature Controlled typically ship within 1-2 business days unless requested otherwise. We always do what we can to make sure your order won’t spend the weekend in a non-temperature controlled logistics hub and in order to facilitate this, we may hold your order for shipment the following week unless you tell us not to.
We do not fulfill partial orders by default, so if your order contains a combination of In Stock and In Transit/Pre Arrival items, we'll automatically hold the In Stock items until everything is ready. If you wish to receive your In Stock items in advance of your In Transit and/or Pre Arrival items, we do ask that you place two separate orders. If you forget to place two separate orders, but still want to receive your In Stock items first, please send us an email at team@sommpicks.com and we’ll take care of it for you.
