Vacqueyras “Fontimple
2020
Rhonea

It was in 1941 that Mr. Geay took over the Domaine de la Soléiade, abandoned after the phylloxera crisis in 1850 which decimated the 40 hectares of the vineyard. With strength and passion, he restored the 18th century building as well as the land. Today the old Grenache vines take root on clay-limestone soil covered with rolled pebbles.
