Notes from the Importer: Jean Yves Péron is a vigneron who trained with Thierry Allemand and Jean Lois Gripp in the Rhone and Bruno Schueller in Alsace, all winemakers who produce natural wines. He founded his winery in 2004. His vineyards are located at a high altitude in the French Alps and he cultivates organic plots of Jacquere and Mondeuse vines that are from 115 to 130 years old. The estates have mica and shale soils and are south-facing so that the grapes ripen optimally. He grows them without using chemical herbicides or fertilisers, and vinifies them with native yeasts. In the winery, he practices the philosophy of minimal intervention and his natural wines are first class wines.
His Jean-Yves Péron vers La Maison Rouge Rosé is a rosé wine from micro-plots lying at an altitude of 350 and 550 metres. These are old vines of the Mondeuse and Gamay varieties planted on clay-limestone and shale-covered limestone soils and cultivated without using any chemical products and only organic treatments. When the grapes reach optimum ripeness, they are harvested manually and taken straight to the winery. The grapes macerate for no more than 5 days and ferment spontaneously with native yeasts. The wine then spends a year in used oak barrels with its lees.
The result is Jean-Yves Péron vers La Maison Rouge Rosé, a natural high-altitude rosé wine born in the Alps that expresses itself without needing any labels.
