Hermitage Les Dionnieres Fayolle Fils

The Fayolle family left the cooperative in 1959 to bottle at the domaine, one of the first in the appellation, and works from Gervans, north of Tain. Les Dionnières (also spelled Diognières) lies at the foot of the Hermitage hill beside Tain, on clay-limestone soils with small rolled pebbles, known for aromatic freshness. The Wine Scholar Guild says the estate`s Diognières Hermitage shows the elegant, rather than powerful, side of the Hill.
