Additional Info:
Saint Jaimes comes from Domaine Les 4 Vents, a family-run estate in Crozes-Hermitage led by Lucie Fourel and Nancy Cellier, farming organically and often biodynamically in the Northern Rhône. This 2018 vintage Syrah is sourced from older vines in the Saint Jaimes parcel and fermented with indigenous yeasts and whole clusters, then aged around 12 months (often in used demi-muids). The wine expresses classic Rhône Syrah character — dark fruit and spice with structured tannins and savory notes — while reflecting the minerality and terroir of sandy-clay and pebble soils in Mercurol.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
