Cote Rotie is a prestigious red wine appellation at the northern tip of the Rhone Valley wine region, where the vineyards are situated on steep slopes - the Cotes. The three hectares of vineyard is located in the parish of Semons in the plot 'Coteau de Bassenon'; and in the parish of Ampuis, in the plots of 'Lancement' and 'Tupin'. The vineyards are situated on south facing granite terraces. Due to the steep slopes in the vineyards, the 30 year old vines are maintained manually, without the use of weed killers and all treatments use organic products. Planted on 3309 rootstocks, the vines are trained according to Cordon and simple Guyot training systems and are planted at a density of 8,000 vines per hectare. Yields are low at 35 hectolitres per hectare. The vineyard is certified organic.
