Elodie Balme's wines
Elodie Balme now makes wine in Rasteau in the tradition of her ancestors who have been in the village for a long time. She offers us several vintages full of fruit, silky, generous, just like her. A wide range of wines at Winery Elodie BalmeFrom the outset, Elodie Balme has opted for vinification without artificial yeasts or acidification. Her wines are produced with respect for nature, with a hands-off approach that allows the grapes to express themselves fully. By 2006, she was producing her first cuvées and rapidly making a name for herself in the wine world. This heritage, enriched by training in viticulture-oenology and experience at Winery Marcel Richaud in Cairanne, is at the root of her success. Elodie Balme's Winery vineyard now covers 28 hectares, an evolution marked by family history. Initially, her father gave her 6 hectares of conventionally farmed vines. Determined to follow a more environmentally-friendly path, Elodie quickly made changes: eliminating chemical fertilizers, working the soil, and using organic products. These new methods give her wines a strong identity, which is winning over a growing public. |
