Heloise is a wonderful and singular wine, produced by terrifically interesting people in an under-appreciated and remarkably beautiful area of a large viticultural region. With vineyards touching four Rhône appellations, the wine from the 30-40 year old, biodynamically farmed vines is aged in for 11 months in French oak. Their motto, "Not yours, not mine, but ours."
