Slope
Thibaud Capellaro is everything you could wish for in a winemaker: hardworking, determined and a ‘no bullshit’ type. He founded Slope in 2018 and began renting a cellar in Condrieu.
Thibaud makes wine from Rhône and Ardèche and has acquired three small plots in Côte-Rôtie: two plots from François Bouillot-Salomon, which have been grown organically for many years, and another plot from an elderly gentleman who has never found it relevant to plant anything other than fruit trees on his land even though it is AOC Côte-Rôtie! Thibaud has now cleared the vineyard, laid out terraces to avoid erosion (as it is extremely steep) and planted Syrah so that he can now produce Côte-Rôtie from this vineyard. A monumental piece of work that shows how ambitious Thibaud has been from the beginning.
In the cellar, he uses spontaneous fermentation, no fining or filtration, old casks and a minimal to no added sulphur. These wines from Southern France offer an incredible freshness and drinkability while having a strong personal touch.
