Located a touch south of Tain l'Hermitage, the Darnaud family founded their domaine with less than 4 acres of vineyards in 2001. Today, they can count over 35, scattered throughout the towns of La Roche de Glun, Pont de l'Isere and Mercurol in Crozes-Hermitage. For their Basatus cuvée, they vinify all their plots separately, aging the wines in demi-muids and barrels for nearly a year before blending. EXCLUSIVE
