Information:	Elicio Raphaël Trouiller uses his experience as a "vigneron" to produce Elicio in the south of the Rhône Valley. New extreme value project from Raphael- Elicio, from the Latin “to reveal” or “to incarnate” is made under the consultancy of genius eonologue Didier Robert. Didier, who has been working with Raphael and also Jean Marot, ex Domaine de Murmurium, for many years, is heavily involved in the selection of the grapes and winemaking process. As the manager of the Eonologist office (ICV) in Beaumes-de-Venise, thus his expertise with the Southern Rhone valley terroir, Didier ‘s contribution is particularly beneficial to this project. The project Elicio is the newest and most value-driven line from Raphael under the structure of Caravinserail. The name comes from a little play on the word Caravanserail, a resting place for a Caravan but also a meeting place, a place to exchange experiences, cultures…. to mix. Here it is expressed with wines. Caravinserail indeed produces with the partnership of talented winemakers, wines of pleasure form the Southern Rhone valley, primarily the Ventoux region. Sustainable Estate Winemaker: Raphael Troullier / Didier Robert
