French Cote du Rhone
Grape varieties: Viognier, Roussanne
Plein Sud means "due south". Despite being an entry level wine, it is fermented and aged in old barrels. The fruit has a sense of maturity, and although the alcohol content is not low, it has a dry taste without oak or persistent sweetness.
The cooperative in the village of Estézargues, southwest of Avignon, in the south of France, consists of 10 growers. Each farmer has been cultivating grapes using biologic or conventional farming methods, but from 2021VT, all wines of the cooperative will be biologic certified. Only sulfites are added at the time of bottling, and there are many wines that are not filtered, which is rare for a winery of this scale. Jean-François Nick (now Fleurs Rouge), the former head brewer, established this brewing method on this scale. In the 1980s and 1990s, at the dawn of Van Nature, it captured the hearts of many people and is still loved by many people throughout France. Jean-François' successor, Denis Duchamp, is also endowed with the ability to produce a total cultivation area of 569ha and an average annual production of 1.6 million bottles. On the contrary, the remarkably pure taste, despite the sheer everyday price, gets better every year. Each grower entrusts the winemaking to Denis and calls himself a domaine, such as Domaine de la Montagnette or Domaine de la Perrière. Plain Sud and Cuvée des Galés, on the other hand, are standard wines made by blending grapes from multiple producers.
