Etienne Becheras Saint-Joseph Le Prieure d’Arras 750ml

Grapes are harvested by hand and the wine is barrel-fermented and barrel-aged in barriques, only 15% to 20% of which are new (essentially a rotation of one new barrel every six years). The vineyard is planted 50% to Marsanne and 50% to Roussanne with a south-south east exposition. The average age of the vines (as of 2012) is about 15 years. Fermentation encompasses 30 to 60 days with an elevage of one year on the fine lies. The wine is bottled without filtration. It is a very generous wine blessed with aromas and flavors of honey, acacia and apricot.

Description

Etienne Bécheras’s domaine is a organically farmed polyculture that extends for 12 hectares principally within the confines of the village of Arras, which borders and overlooks the Rhône River on the western side. The five hectares situated on the flat lands along the Rhône are planted to cherry and apricot trees. There are four hectares of vineyards. The remainder of the property is dedicated to forest where the ash and acacia trees are used as building and heating materials and offer the extra advantage of presenting ideal conditions for the growth of edible mushrooms and truffles!
