Gaurt de Mautens was a small vineyard, founded by Jêrome Bessy in 1996, well off the beaten track within Rasteau. The vineyard has been organically certified since 1989 (Ecocert) and biodynamically farmed since 2008 (Demeter certified). Production is minscule, the wines intense and aromatic – fabulous in magnum
"2015 was pretty much a dream vintage in the Southern Rhône. This is mostly Grenache Blanc, with supporting roles for Grenache Gris, Clairette, Picardin, Bourboulenc, Picpoul Gris and Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, all interplanted. Gentle pastry on the nose, leading into a palate of zinging, ripe white peach and pithy apricot. Beautifully pure and resonant, with red appley texture on the finish. Jêrome loves the complexity afforded by allowing so many varietals a role and finds the Rasteau appellaton rules overly restrictive. Thus he has courageously forged his own path

The Rhône wine region comprises two discrete vineyard areas whose landscapes, soils, climates and even grapes vary significantly, resulting in distinctly different wine styles.
