Eric's vineyards of very old vines are on the western side of the Rhône - most are co-planted with different varieties. The soil here is much like that in Châteauneuf du Pape on the other bank - red clay, sand and the famous galets. Tavel is known for its rosés but the majority have been made in an industrial way for many years - Eric is one of the only people working without chemicals in the vineyard and the only person not using them in the cellar. Consequently the wines have a real purity and depth that makes them some of the most sought after bottles.
