< style="margin: 0;">Hervé Souhaut built Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet in 1993 on the granite slopes of Arlebosc, a village 30 minutes into the Ardèche hills from Saint-Joseph — further from the river than the main Rhône AOC estates, higher in elevation, and firmly in the IGP Ardèche zone where appellation rules don't apply. The vines — 30 to 80 years old, trained in gobelet on decomposed granite — give the wine a structural minerality that's harder to find at this price anywhere in the Northern Rhône corridor.
The 2024 is a beneficiary of a challenging vintage: the wettest year on record, with mildew pressure all season, then a dry August and cold north wind in September that concentrated whatever survived. The result is 12.5% ABV — low even for this domaine — with clean, bright acidity and a violet-and-cherry profile that drinks more like cool-climate Syrah than anything coming out of Cornas. Whole-cluster fermented, unfined, unfiltered, 25 mg/L SO₂ at bottling.
< style="margin: 0;">PAIRINGS :
| Duck confit | fruit and acidity cut through rendered fat without fighting the gaminess |
| Roast chicken with herbes de Provence | the wine's floral and herbal register matches herb-forward preparations directly |
| Grilled pork tenderloin | lean protein and cherry-fruit alignment; 12.5% ABV keeps the pairing agile |
