Réserve de Fleur is Delibo’s own Côtes du Rhône, a collaboration with Chief Winemaker at Cave d'Estézargues, Denis Deschamps. We blend the wine annually, to make a modern, unoaked style that reflects its origins in the hot southern Rhône Valley. The exact blend varies year on year to ensure consistency however is always majority Syrah (the Réserve de Fleur signature) with a smaller proportion of Grenache and sometimes Mourvèdre, Carignan or Cinsault. The vines are 20 to 80 years old vines grown at 65-150 metres. Natural winemaking Minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation, no fining, unoaked, minimal use of sulphur, the lightest possible filtration for texture and flavour and a screwcap to preserve the freshness.
