GROWER OVERVIEW

A native of Cornas and from a family of winemakers, Sébastien Mazeret brings tradition and international experience to Le Domaine des Collines. After seven years working with the owner, Christine, they officially partnered in 2022 in preparation for full ownership for her 2025 retirement. With a sharp focus on organic farming and ingenious mechanical engineering, Sébastien manages 5 hectares of Syrah, 2 hectares of Merlot, and 0.5 hectares of Chardonnay, alongside fruit and forage crops. His winemaking philosophy leans toward minimal intervention, favoring indigenous yeasts and using only miniscule amounts of sulfites post-malolactic fermentation.

VINEYARD DETAILS

Syrah is harvested from vines planted in 2000 on west-facing mild slope at 150 meters on deep calcareous clay.

CELLAR NOTES

Syrah is destemmed and naturally fermented for 18 days with 1-2 daily pump overs, aged 8 months in concrete with the first sulfites added after malolactic between 0-5 mg/L total sulfites. Unfined and lightly filtered.
