{"product_id":"corentin-houillon-veronnet-rouge-2024","title":"Veronnet Rouge","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA bright, juicy red from Corentin's vineyards in Chautagne. Fresh cherries and tart red berries lead the way, with a little black pepper and an earthy, savory edge. Light-bodied and energetic, with lively acidity, gentle tannins, and a refreshing finish. At just 10% alcohol, this is an easygoing red with plenty of flavor, especially good served slightly chilled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorentin Houillon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCorentin Houillon’s first wine memories date back to 1991, when he was foot treading the Poulsard grapes from the legendary Pierre Overnoy. Having the chance to be fully immersed in such a family from a young age is of course a huge asset. Those experiences were a decisive influence in his decision to become a winemaker, and he went on to study wine in Beaune and Montpellier. Corentin subsequently worked with some stellar estates that are at the forefront of Biodynamic farming in France, such as Domaine Tissot in Jura and Domnique Derain in Burgundy. He then travelled to the New World to broaden his experiences, and finally began making wine in Switzerland under his name for La Ville de Morges. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCorentin ended up settling in the Chautagne region, literally a 5 min drive from Marie and Florian Curtet. He is now looking after 5ha of steep vineyards (Altesse, Jacquère, Pinot, Gamay \u0026amp; Mondeuse) that comes as one single block, all planted on \"molasses soils\" surrounded by forest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vineyard has no neighbours at all, just their cellar at the bottom of the hill. Corentin works mainly with concrete tanks and barrels, giving the wines time and oxygen. Talking to him is quite invigorating as he has quite a lot of energy, and he laughs a lot too. He knows exactly what he wants to do, and has invested a lot in state of the art equipment to work the soil in his particular conditions, and in some instances, has built his own bespoke tools that are better suited.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003eI have grown up in an environment where we advocate zero additives, zero chemicals, and no sulphur.
