Vignobles Levet:
Based in the Northern Rhone Valley, Vignobles Levet is regarded for its traditional winemaking methods and its focus on producing high-quality Syrah-based wines. The Levet family has been involved in winemaking for several generations, and the current generation, led by Nicole Levet, continues the family tradition. The estate owns several vineyards in the Côte-Rôtie appellation, known for its steep slopes and granite soils.
Vignobles Levet are committed to organic and biodynamic farming practices. The estate uses natural methods to control pests and diseases, avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyards. This approach is believed to result in healthier vines and more expressive wines.
The wines of Vignobles Levet are typically made using traditional winemaking techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented with native yeasts. The wines are aged in oak barrels for an extended period, which helps to develop complex flavours and aromas.
