ABOUT THIS WINE
Corps de Loup Loupiot is a red wine from the Vallée du Rhône, classified as an IGP Collines Rhodaniennes. The estate, Corps de Loup, was established by the Daubrée family in 1991, who have since dedicated themselves to restoring and cultivating vineyards on steep hillsides. The Loupiot wine, while not from a specific appellation, is aged for 10 months in old Côte-Rôtie barrels, linking it to the producer's more prestigious cuvées. The family's philosophy centers on respecting the land and expressing the unique character of the vintage and terroir through sustainable viticulture and the use of indigenous yeasts.
