ESTATE HISTORY

For nearly a century, the Brotte family has been guided by a spirit of innovation. With expert wine making experience in three top appellations, (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cairanne and Laudun Village) Maison Brotte has extended their know-how to create exceptional wines in all the major regions of the Rhône valley. Backed by a team of eight wine professionals, including two enologists and three viticulturalists, Maison Brotte produces three separate estate wines: Domaine Barville, Domaine Grosset, & Chateau de Bord.

“Rustic & Honest” - “Marandy” pays homage to the name and the character of this long time Saint Joseph cuvée of Maison Brotte that came from a parcel of the same name (1970’s). This delicate wine already existed in the 16th century.

TERROIR

Sourced from steep hillside parcels of light schist and gneiss over granite sub-soil, producing complex and racy wines from this temperate climate. These poor soils limit yields and allow the full complexity of Syrah to be expressed.

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS

A majority of Syrah, matured for 6 to 12 months in 100-year-old large oak vats, shows intense notes of blackcurrant, pepper and spice. Racy tannins give the cuvée a certain rustic quality. Enjoy with tournedos of duck, caillete, roasted poultry, or venison with mushrooms.
