Wines and spirits Rhône

Vinescence is 2 wineries, 320 winemakers, 1,100 hectares of vineyards, know-how passed down from generation to generation and the mastery of an art, that of winemaking, by authentic enthusiasts.

The area, the cradle of several generations, dominates the village of Cercié, at the foot of Mont-Brouilly Chapel. Here we find three names  : Beaujolais-villages, brouilly with its intense ruby robe, aromas of red fruit or plum and a cellaring and powerful body, it is the believer who expresses the fruity bouquet of the gamay grape. Morgon, a pleasant young man but takes over a special scent of ripe fruit and nuclei over time. Most of the domain  : manual harvest with very selective sorting on the table to the vine. The area also includes a rural cottage for 5 people (2 ears).

For Guillaume and Constant, beer is much more than a drink. Beer is a passion that they share at La Plante du Loup.

Spirits - whiskies, beer brandies... - produced by brewers. New and beautiful address in Vaise.
