Domaine Les 4 Vents

At Domaine les 4 Vents in Crozes-Hermitages, Lucie and Nancy Fourel, sisters in charge of the estate, showcase a deep connection to their vineyard and a passion for viticulture and organic farming. Lucie explains the intricacies of working with Marsanne and Syrah vines of varying ages, highlighting the importance of treating each plot and grape variety uniquely to capture the essence of the terroir. By vinifying the grapes separately based on age and characteristics, the sisters craft wines that reflect the energy and intensity of youth as well as the depth and austerity of older vines, showcasing a profound understanding of the vineyard's nuances and translating them into beautiful, expressive wines.
