Entre Les Vents
The name, meaning “Between the Winds,” reflects the Rhône’s unique climate shaped by two winds: Mistral – cool, dry air from the north that clears clouds, boosts sunlight, aids ripening, and protects vines from disease. Levant – humid Mediterranean breeze that replenishes soil moisture, moderates summer heat, and preserves acidity and aromatics. The range is produced by Colombes des Vignes, one of the most famous and well-regarded producers in the Southern Rhône, who have access to over 1000+ Ha of vines and come with years of experience, having been founded in 1936.
Viticulture
Grown in prime sites across the Southern Rhône, including the prestigious Sainte Cécile commune. The vines thrive in diverse soils, such as white rock schist and clay, which impart unique mineral and structural qualities to the wines. The Mistral wind ensures healthy vines by clearing humidity and promoting ripening, while the Levant breeze moderates summer heat, preserving acidity and aromatics. These natural elements, combined with sustainable vineyard practices, result in high-quality fruit with exceptional character.
Winemaking
The winemaking team boasts over 60 years of combined experience, led by Julien Dugas, who has overseen more than 40 harvests, and Valeriane Etienne, with over 20 years of expertise. Their approach combines traditional methods with modern precision, ensuring each bottle reflects the authenticity and elegance of the Southern Rhône. Select parcels are matured in French oak to enhance complexity, while unoaked wines showcase purity and vibrant fruit expression.
