THE LEGACY OF A TERROIR AND KNOW-HOW

The experience accumulated over the years in the selection and blending is fully manifested in the Fiole Côtes du Rhône and Fiole Réserve vintages. Each of these vintages is the result of a rigorous selection of terroirs and villages, integrating a geological and climatic diversity that enriches the wines with incomparable complexity and depth. This mechanism of excellence leaves nothing to chance; every detail is carefully orchestrated to produce wines of superior quality.

The expertise acquired over time is now being carefully passed on to new generations. Under the benevolent and formative gaze of Christine Brotte, herself initiated by the previous generation, this art of blending continues to live and evolve. Christine embodies this continuity, ensuring that the new generation perpetuates the tradition while bringing its own touch of modernity and innovation.

Thus, the art of blending at Vignobles de la Fiole remains a living testament to the passion and dedication of the winegrowers, a precious tradition that is passed on from generation to generation, ensuring the durability and greatness of La Fiole wines.

THE ART OF BLENDING

Like a perfumer before his olfactory piano, the art of blending wines is undoubtedly a discipline that requires rigour, experience and know-how. The quest for perfect harmony in each cuvée, inspired by the diversity of terroirs, plots, vintages and winemaking styles, requires talent and patience worthy of the greatest artisans.

The production of Fiole wines begins with a meticulous selection of plots, with each vineyard being scrutinised for its unique characteristics and its potential to contribute to the final blend. This initial stage is crucial, as it lays the foundations on which the excellence of the wines is based.

AGEING

Then comes the time of ageing, a period during which the wines are monitored with scrupulous attention. Tasting, adjusting, ageing, these actions repeated with precision and care are the tools by which the Cellar Master manages to maintain the consistency and uniqueness of the character of the wines over decades.

In particular, the Fiole du Pape stands out as a non-vintage wine, a unique blend often made up of wines from the last two harvests, complemented by a reserve wine. This practice preserves the house’s unalterable taste signature, integrating the best elements of each year to create a balanced and harmonious wine. Each tasting is an act of devotion, aimed at balancing the subtle nuances and distinctive characteristics of each batch.
