About the Icons
A Red Cellar Trio Wine Club Selection
The domaine was established in 1976 in the village of La Roche de Glun. Winemaker Christelle Betton, is the third generation of her family to work with Syrah in the northern Rhône region of France. Her vineyard holdings, farmed by her father and grandfather before her, total 15 acres in Crozes-Hermitage and one-third acre in Hermitage. The vines are cared for organically, although not certified. The soils are alluvial and rocky, with "galets roulés" commonly found along the Rhône River valley—most notably in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
