A nose of raspberry, black fruits and white pepper. A palate both silky and generous, with beautiful length and a spicy finish. Call it a cuvée to enjoy with friends – but your classy ones, if you please!
Jean Delobre
Jean Delobre of La Ferme des 7 Lunes, located between Valence and Vienne, took over the family business in 1984, following in the footsteps of his grandparents and parents. At the time, the estate was devoted to polyculture and vines were just one of their crops, farmed with chemical treatments while selling the grapes to the local cooperative. But Jean is a man of singular determination, and after having created a group of organic winegrowers at the cooperative in 1997, he left it definitively in 2001 to vinify his own wines in the simplest possible way. The year of 2002 would represent a real turning point for the estate: the herd of cows was sold, and the barn and the garage became the cellar and vat room. Today, about ten hectares of Syrah, Marsanne and Roussanne are cultivated biodynamically with the soils worked by horse, while the estate still includes about twenty hectares of meadows, apricot trees and cereals. What a lovely journey it’s been for this farmer turned winemaker!
A nose of blackcurrant, blueberry, long pepper, and violet, with subtle notes of smoke and incense... The palate is clean and precise, structured and energetic, with alcohol and tannins perfectly in balance – plus a spicy, fresh finish to boot! Irresistible.
A rich and complex nose with notes of white fruits, apricot, camomile, and linden... Palate: the attack is bold, with a supple, generous mouthfeel, and lovely balance between finesse and power. A cuvée to pair with gastronomy – a guaranteed delight!
A nose with notes of blackberry and blueberry, violet, and coffee beans ... Palate: the attack is direct, with beautiful tension, ripe, supple tannins, and a velvety finish.
A nose of apricot, yellow peach, pineapple, jasmine, and lemon zest. The palate: in three words, lusciousness, freshness, length. We didn't expect so much from this "little" cuvée, truly a lovely surprise!
Truly a remarkable achievement – a white Saint Joseph made without sulphur! A nose of white peaches and candied pear, with notes of almond in the shell and flowers... Palate: tension, freshness, lovely volume and a long finish. A fresh wine.
A nose with notes of small wild cherries, blackcurrant... Palate: it's all in the name, this is a funky, festive, ultra juicy, easy drinking glouglou wine – something to wake up the taste buds! It’s wine without a headache, and oh so freshhhhh… a cuvée that’s all about pleasure!
A nose of ripe black fruits that were just picked in the sun, violet as always, notes of Tonka bean and black pepper, and a touch of strawberry jam. The palate is supple, with beautiful roundness, aromas of ripe fruit, and just the right amount of freshness for balance. Worth decanting.
A rich nose with aromas of black fruits, coffee, prune, and cocoa, and toasted notes. The palate is surprising compared to the nose, very smooth and fluid, with beautiful structure – it's juicy! A wine with wonderful ageing potential.
