LA BANATE seen by « Les 5 du Vin » - May 13th 2015

There we go infrequently; Yet there, the chain of high limestone hills of the Massif de La Lance offers its beauty and protection to the vineyard of Rousset-les-Vignes. At a large kilometer from the village, Jean t'Kint bought in 2011 a few acres of old Grenache and a little Syrah.
