Producer

Romain Zordain took over half of the family vineyards in 2012, the other half going to his talented cousin Yann Bertrand. Now certified organic since full conversion in 2009, Romain and his parents farm 8 hectares of old vines in Fleurie and Morgon. There is new life in Fleurie and Romain is squarely at the front of the pack, making fabulous, juice-driven wines that are a joy to drink and age exceptionally.  

Farming and Winemaking

The 60-year old gobelet vines are all worked by hand and the vineyard is planted on granitic soil over sand, facing South East. Unsurprisingly given the age of the vines, yields are very low. Spaciale is a slow long carbonic maceration in a spherical 'Sputnik' tank. The texture is out of this world!.
