Hervé Souhaut

Northern Rhône Syrah and Roussanne from the granite slopes.

Hervé Souhaut produces wines from the Northern Rhône, a region defined by steep granite slopes and a continental climate that shapes distinctive expressions of Syrah and white Rhône varieties. The winery's Saint Joseph, built on Syrah, demonstrates the varietal's capacity for structure and depth in this terroir—Wine Spectator has rated it at 90 points. Equally compelling is the Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet, a Roussanne that reflects the white wine tradition of the Northern Rhône, where this grape achieves mineral precision and complexity. Both wines represent the winery's focus on classic Northern Rhône expressions, where old-vine fruit and careful winemaking reveal the character of individual vineyard sites.
