The Flacher estate, located in the arid lands of the Côtes du Rhône, covers 8 hectares on which we find the AOC Saint Joseph as our main appellation. It is in Charnas that Gilles Flacher cultivates his vines with respect for the land, harvesting by hand, favoring small harvests in order to produce great wines of great finesse. Gilles Flacher has eight hectares in seven distinct parcels in Saint-Joseph and Condrieu. Each one is tended to, harvested and vinified separately. The slopes of Saint-Joseph are so steep that Gilles has no choice but to plough and hoe his vineyards manually.
It has aromas of toasty spice, black olive, incense, oregano with a meaty character. Tight and concentrated with a firm acidity, it is quite austere for the time being and will benefit from some cellaring. Some subtle floral lavender and plum flavors emerge. Tannic with a fine texture, it should metamorphose into a truly special wine.
