A rare Syrah from the Northern Rhone, this deep ruby red wine exudes aromas of ripe blackberries and spices. Its supple, powerful tannins and rich acidity are perfectly balanced, making it a perfect pairing with lamb, duck, and other red meats. Enjoy its luxurious flavor, which deepens with age.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Deep ruby red in appearance, the aroma is a complex intertwining of ripe blackberries and blueberries with spices, subtle smoked notes, and minerality.
When you put it in your mouth, the supple, powerful tannins and firm acidity spread in a balanced manner, and the concentrated flavors of black fruit and nuances of vanilla and chocolate from the barrel linger on your palate for a long time.
It has great aging potential and will gain even more depth over time.

Pairing
Grilled Lamb Chop
Roast duck (with orange or berry sauce)
Lean steak (pepper sauce or red wine sauce)

Production

Cultivation
This cuvée is primarily sourced from the Bassenon terroir in the villages of Tupin and Sémons, located in the southernmost part of the region. A small plot of land in the Rozier parcel, located just north of Ampuis, is also included in the blend. The vines are planted at a high density of 9,000 vines per hectare, cultivated on a stilt system.
Soils: Granite and gneiss in the south, shale in the north.

Winemaking
The grapes are hand-harvested, all de-stemmed and not crushed.
Vinification takes place in open stainless steel tanks for approximately three weeks, with frequent short pumpings (remontages), and malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels.
