Sablet rouge, Cheval Long, Bertrand Stehelin - 2021

The Stehelin family comes from a line of five generations of winegrowers. Nicole and Frédéric have run the Paillère and Pied-Gû estates since 1978. Bertrand, their eldest son, has worked alongside them since 2001, developing his own label at the same time, but from the same land. Both estates are located in Gigondas and have vines on some of the best terroirs in the village - as the neighbouring winemakers themselves say! We'll be receiving their excellent Gigondas in the autumn, but in the meantime, it's the Sablet finage that's in the spotlight. For many, the wines will be a revelation! They're the best we've tasted from the AOP, including the white.
