The vines, planted in the schist soils the wine is named for, are tended using organic practices. This is a classic Côte Rôtie, co-fermented with a small portion of Viognier to help solidify the inky darkness and enhance the seductive floral characteristics of Syrah. Grape 95% Syrah 5% Viognier Food match Braised beef cheeks with roasted vegetables, a selection of olives and cured meats, or roasted game birds.

Clusel Roch

Agriculture has always been part of family the Clusel family. They are passionately farmers and winemakers. The passion for the land, the vines and the wine gives them the fierce desire to keep their terroir alive. They cultivate and vinify in the most natural way, whether on the steep slopes of Côte-Rôtie or on the gentler slopes of the Coteaux du Lyonnais.

The estate is currently run by Guillaume Clusel, Gilbert Clusel and Brigitte Roch. It has 13 ha of vines on the three historic growths of Lyonnais, Ampuis (AOC Côte-Rôtie), Condrieu (AOC Condrieu), Millery (AOC Coteau du Lyonnais).
