Philippe Cambie was born in Pezenas, France in 1962, where his mother's family has vineyards. Thus his cradle was the vineyards of Languedoc, on the terroir of Picpoul Blanc. His father was born in Marseille. So he is a child of the Mediterranean basin to which he attributes his addiction to Grenache. Philippe did not start in the wine industry but first graduated from a technological university in the food industry. During these studies he gained a thorough knowledge of microbiology in areas that are very similar to what happens in the winemaking process. Not quite satisfied, he decided to change direction and completed a Degree in Oenology in 1986. He has had a rich array of experiences in the wine business: director of bottling in the Vaucluse; wine trader in Bordeaux and Northern France; Sales Manager in the south of France; and Production Manager in the Roussillon. In 1998 he began a consulting business in the ICV Group which he still does, consulting with various other wineries. In addition to his consulting he also makes his own wines; one of those labels is Les Halos de Jupiter. Cambie says he got the name from the poets who said that Jupiter (Zeus in Greek) is the father, the king of all gods and humans. He rules on Mount Olympus and his power is such that he can shake the entire universe by a simple nod of the head. He also represents the spiritual world, organizes the exterior world and is the god of all physical, moral and social rules. According to Mircea Eliade, he is the archetypal head of a patriarchal family. Jupiter is also the biggest planet of our solar system and its Halo is the closest of the three rings that surround the planet. For Philippe, Grenache is the king of all grapes and the natural leader of all Rhone varietals. The halo symbolizes the appellations that best express its personality. Today's feature is his Cotes du Rhone Village - Rasteau. The grapes are sourced from several vineyards between the villages of Rasteau and Roaix, most of them at elevation. He feels that it is this elevation that gives this dark and concentrated Cotes du Rhone its unique finesse and balance.
