WINE DESCRIPTION
The history of Domaine de l’Echevin dates back to the 16th century when Guillaume de Rouville, Mayor of Lyon, acquired land in the Rhône Valley in 1586. In 1990, François Fabre founded Domaine de l’Echevin. Domaine la Florane represented wines made from the vines in Visan, on the land inherited by Marie-Pierre Fabre's family. In 2001, both family estates began using the same purpose-built cellar, each retaining its name. In 2019, they merged. Today, François and his son Adrien run both domains, belonging to the Côtes du Rhône Villages appellation. Their wines, known for complexity and elegance, perfectly reflect the terroir's richness.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine La Florane À Fleur de Pampre Rouge is an exquisite red wine with the true essence of the Rhône Valley.With its deep ruby color, this wine immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, intertwined with hints of violet and dried herbs.
On the palate, this wine offers a harmonious balance between fruitiness and earthiness. The flavors of black fruits, such as blackcurrants and blackberries, are complemented by subtle notes of licorice, tobacco, and a touch of spice. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety texture that lingers on the palate.
Domaine La Florane À Fleur de Pampre Rouge is a medium to full-bodied wine with a long and elegant finish. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses. This wine is best enjoyed at a slightly cooler temperature to fully appreciate its complexity and depth.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine La Florane
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
