The excellent reputation of La Suzienne wine
stands unquestionable. The oenologists' expertise combined with the
maîtres de chais or cellar masters' wealth of experience ensure that
the wines repeatedly reach the high quality and regularity of character
recognised by the
professional awards they receive.

La
Suzienne sells three Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée wines :
These
red, rosé and white wines, full-bodied, sturdy and refined with a
good alcohol content, constitute the largest part of La Suzienne yield.
They are produced from the best grapes of the Rhône region from a
long established vine.
This
wine, which only comes in red, belongs to a few select vineyards in
a very limited area predisposed to specific climatic conditions situated
within the Côtes du Rhône vineyards. At the request of the Côtes du
Rhône wine growers' union, the wine growers of Bollène, Bouchet and
Suze have jointly applied for the village name of Suze-la-Rousse to
become the appellation used for this wine.
These white, rosé and red wines come from the northern part of our
winegrowing area where the grapes grow on terraces of galets, round
pebbles, overlooking the river Rhône. They are light, drinkable wines
which can be kept for 2 - 3 years. The fragrances, light and warmth
of the hills of Provence are reflected in these wines.
In
November, these traditional appellations are joined by the fruity
vins primeurs, characterised
by their aromas of red fruit.
