its wines are a bargain for lovers of Northern Rhône Syrahs Some of the best red wine from the Northern Rhône is being made in a place almost no one has heard of and sold at bargain prices compared with those of Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage But neither the anonymity nor the prices may last much longer Once you leave the outskirts of Tain-l’Hermitage going north and past the last of the Crozes-Hermitage vines the wine growing shifts to the Rhone’s right or west bank with the vineyards mostly facing toward the morning sun First comes the long stretch of ubiquitous Saint-Joseph vines suddenly punctuated by the minuscule monopole then followed by the marvellous whites of Condrieu and spectacular reds of Côte-Rôtie In the hills above Vienne to the north is Seyssuel now under consideration by the Institut National de L’Origine et de la Qualité (INAO) in modern days grapes have been grown on the hillside for about only 25 years and there is no official appellation for the wines made from these grapes except the unromantic regional designation of “Collines Rhodaniennes.” both of which would be permitted in the new appellation are great values for wine lovers for two reasons they are being primarily produced by well-known winemakers who have made their names in Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu and because French consumers will only pay a lot of money once a region is recognised as its own cru the long and laborious procedure that the Seyssuel area if now undergoing The two dozen or so producers who have invested both money and reputation here see themselves as fulfilling the arc of French wine history The Romans first made wine in Seyssuel – Pliny the Elder was a fan – but its vineyards were wiped out by phylloxera in the late 1800s and even as the world rediscovered Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu over the past 50 years because we don’t have the appellation,” says Yves Cuilleron “We also sell because of our reputation as winemakers A lot of customers want to try our wines.” the vineyards of Seyssuel are composed of mainly schist lying at the top of the first rise of hills above the Rhone facing southwest toward Côte-Rôtie the stream shifts from flowing southeast to southwest There are actually three parts of vineyards here – Chasse-sur-Rhône all named after the towns below – but they are generally lumped under the single Seyssuel designation there are almost 70 hectares planted and 23 winegrowers with the exception of Domaine Eymin-Tichoux ship their grapes to their existing wineries and my great-grandfather had a small vineyard in the hillside but everything had disappeared,” says Sophie Eymin we started to plant in 2015 with a hectare of Syrah We rediscovered the ancient walls which are still standing outlining the terraces of the hill Now we have three hectares on the terroir of Seyssuel.” made wine in Burgundy for 25 years before returning home “Seyssuel in facing south and west toward the afternoon sun so there is more ripeness in the Syrah grapes from Seyssuel,” Villa says “The red wine from Seyssuel is always drinkable Côte-Rôtie can sometimes closed for a period of years with the exception of being the same grape variety the wines are totally different with those of Condrieu well-known for his vineyard-designed Côte-Rôtie as well as Condrieus “The Viogniers of Seyssuel are more minerally.” who planted a small amount of Viognier among the Syrah of his 12 hectares of grapes to blend with the reds “We had so much success with the white that we had none for blending it is the reds – the Syrahs – they are gaining the most attention from growers and customers alike Bryan Deleu worked in the vineyards of other Seyssuel producers before starting his own business with one hectare of grapes “I made the first vintage of Syrah in 2022,” he says “and already it is a bomb – a lot of fruit and a complex tannin structure Ogier planted 3.5 hectares in 2001 and has marketed the Syrah for several years under the brand “L’Âme Soeur,” which always sells out “some of it as high as some of our Côte-Rôties.” (L’Âme Soeur sells for £33 while the Côte-Rôtie “La Belle Hélène” is £265.) “I had a tasting with the trade in Lille recently with my Côte-Rôties and put in a bottle of L’Âme Soeur People are always very surprised by how well it compares Sommeliers love it because it is less expensive They like to use it to surprise their clients.” Most Seyssuel producers who also produce Côte-Rôtie are similarly comfortable with the comparison the terroir of Seyssuel has nothing to envy to the terroir of Côte-Rôtie,” Eymin says “We are facing south with a mixture of gneiss everyone is waiting for the INAO to presumably give its approval where new regions seeking an upgrade go through a progression of Côtes-du-Rhône ‘village’ designations before attaining cru status there are no such designated villages in the north we will not go through Côtes du Rhône Village,” says Florian Marcellin wine specialist with the Vienne-Condrieu tourist bureau “We will be a regional AOP then quickly a cru These are the two steps.” He also notes that a few winemakers are using the simple basic designation of ‘Vin de France’ rather than the current AOP Unlike with the large Saint-Joseph appellation that runs for more than 65 kilometres along the Rhône’s western side “will be difficult to expand beyond the current 70 hectares And not everyone may be happy if Seyssuel gets its cru status and there are people who are jealous that we might get cru status in a shorter period of time than they did But we have to

again Tesla has confirmed the development of its new V4 Superchargers capable of delivering charging speeds of up to 350kW The discovery was found within a planning application submitted by Tesla for the installation of 36 electric vehicle (EV) charging units, including 16 V4 Superchargers, at the Swindon Designer Outlet North Car Park in the UK, as spotted by @TeslaOwnersUK The application outlines Tesla’s plans to expand its charging infrastructure with the new V4 Superchargers set to significantly reduce charging times for Tesla owners The company’s current V3 Superchargers have a maximum output of 250kW In addition to the 16 V4 Superchargers, the proposed development will also include 20 ChargePoint 6000 series EV chargers All 36 proposed chargers will be universally compatible expanding the charging options for all EV owners The planning statement reveals that the selection of the site was primarily driven by grid connections Tesla stated that 50% of grid applications prove unfeasible due to grid capacity constraints and distance from proposed charging hubs when suitable sites with sufficient capacity become available it is crucial to develop these sites to maximize the use of the grid and provide better nationwide coverage of EV charging points The proposed Tesla Superchargers will be available for use 24 hours a day and typically take around 30 minutes to charge a vehicle the equipment generates little to no noise The planning application is currently under review the new charging hub will significantly enhance the EV charging infrastructure in Swindon and contribute to the UK’s broader efforts to support the transition to electric vehicles Tesla has been installing its V4 Superchargers with the third recently found within France — Esther Kokkelmans (@EstherKokkelman) July 25, 2023 Tesla V4 Superchargers on the side have a small display First new V4 Supercharger with display is online 🎉🎉🎉Display isn’t activated yet (coming soon) Due to European regulations the display has to be installed.📸🙏 Thx @SeefyCar for your testrun pic.twitter.com/33544A9fDl — Tesla Club Austria (@TeslaClubAT) July 26, 2023 a leading supplier of services and technologies for the life sciences industry is investing €6.5 million to expand capacity & increase flexibility in an API manufacturing workshop at its Chasse-sur-Rhône site (69 - France) The revamping of this workshop and installation of two new synthesis reactors (4000L Hastelloy & 1600L glass lined) is intended to increase the plant flexibility and its capacity for low to medium volume APIs addressing the growing needs of the industry for targeted therapies The two new reactors are equipped with a high-performance thermal system & benefit from a high level of automation The project also involves repositioning the high-pressure hydrogenation reactor and the construction of the utilities building is nearing completion This investment will be fully operational by the end of 2021 "Upgrading this workshop with the addition of two new reactors will enable us to continue modernizing our Chasse-sur-Rhône site's API manufacturing facilities whilst improving flexibility and productivity " president of the Synthesis Solutions Business Unit of Novasep "These investments will also reduce our environmental impact by optimizing energy consumption This is an opportunity for us to respond to social and environmental challenges using technological advances.” It also enhances the safety of employees and minimization environmental impact All of this contributes to our Rise-2 growth strategy." adds Dr In 2018 a new 5000L cryogenic Hastelloy reactor was added Containment capabilities have been reinforced with a new 1.5m² Hastelloy filter drier
