Florence and Olivier Leriche, partners in life and in the vineyard, are the winemakers behind Domaine des Accoles, an 18-ha biodynamic estate in Saint-Marcel d'Ardèche. Accoles (which means terraces in the ancient Occitan language) was founded in 2011, but the talented duo had already made a name for themselves in the wine world much earlier. After studies in agricultural engineering in Bordeaux and oenology in Dijon, Olivier found an internship at Domaine de l'Arlot in Burgundy, "almost by chance". That was September 1998... 13 years later, he had converted the estate to biodynamics and become its manager! Yet a longing to return to their roots, and the purchase of several exceptional parcels of old vines in Ardèche, led them to embark on this new adventure. Today, they classify all their wines as Vin de France, preferring the freedom to vinify terroir-driven cuvées, using long maturation periods and low doses of sulphur – sage practices that have yielded more than convincing results in the bottle!
Minimal sulphites
A complex, expressive, beautifully intense wine with a nose of pear, beeswax, salted butter, and subtle mineral notes. The palate is round and mouthwatering yet chiselled, with a pure, white fruit finish. Decanting shortly before serving will reveal this wine’s full range of aromas.
Minimal sulphites
A luscious nose, with notes of black fruits, violets and spices. Palate: fine and silky, with supple, perfectly integrated tannins, and a long finish full of fruit and freshness.
Minimal sulphites
A sublime wine that reveals its full range of aromas after 2 hours of decanting, opening with wild, animal notes such as leather, cigar box and garrigue, followed by fruit notes like plum, blueberry and black cherry. The palate is rich and aromatic, powerful yet silky, with fine length.
Minimal sulphites
A cuvée that’s all about pleasure, redolent of cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry, and already evolving towards subtle notes of forest floor and smoke. With a sunny palate, this is generous yet intense juice, perfectly balanced with lovely concentration.
Minimal sulphites
Third vintage for this cuvée, which will not be renewed every year, and each time in a different form! A real crisp juice to be served a bit chilled, a pure pleasure that feels like drinking a red fruits juice!
Minimal sulphites
Charming nose with notes of red berries, grenadine, and a hint of citrus... A table rosé that's fresh and lingering. Too lazy to cook and not sure what to open? The perfect combo of some fine charcuterie + Rosé des Acolytes is here to save the day!
Minimal sulphites
A complex nose, with notes of raspberry and cherry, evolving into aromas of leather, pepper and liquorice. The palate is light and delicate, with exquisitely fine tannins, a long finish, and lingering notes of kirsch and cocoa. In the winemakers’ words: "fruit, elegance and precision".
