Joncier’s vineyard

Joncier estate. Marine Roussel’s estate is in Tavel, but its vineyard is on the Lirac appellation area. 32 hectares planted on a plateau with large worn pebbles that draw heat in, starve the soil from nutrients and allow the roots to penetrate deeper, ideal for vines! Marine, fascinated by the texture of pebbles, is also passionate about sustainable cultivation methods and vinification, techniques that she has developed and integrated little by little. Certified Demeter in 2005, her wine is powerful and elegant. A nice discovery, the La Soumise and Le Maudit blends are classified “Vin de Pays”. The Muses, a red from the Lirac appellation is atypical. 30 126 Tavel. www.domainedujoncier.com
