The response was amazing. With one offer, a formerly unknown (for most of us) producer became our second best selling Northern Rhone producer. In the four years since that fist offer, the Souillard wines have become even more enthusiastically received.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eJean-Baptiste wants freshness - his grapes are usually sourced from têtes de coteaux, the top of the hillside vineyard sites. The whites, grown on limestone, offer a deep minerality, rich textures and great depth. He wants granite “soil” for the reds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAs to the reds, they are absolutely captivating. They unfold tirelessly, a ‘catch me if you can’ between a very whole-cluster-faded rose petals profile and magnificent, tense, savory notes. On the palate, the flavors are all savory with bright acidity and great structure against very pure syrah fruit. Never tiring, they always call for a further glass and for food. It’s a good idea to give these wines a good hour or two head start in a decanter if drinking while young.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe elevage is classic, utilizing old-school principles.
