Presentation
This confidential estate in the northern Rhône Valley highlights the excellence of Syrah through powerful and refined wines. Nestled on steep granite terroirs, it benefits from ideal conditions for the cultivation of this emblematic grape variety. The vines are cultivated without chemical herbicides, and manual harvesting ensures rigorous selection of berries. Vinifications are long, and aging in barrels brings structure and complexity to the wines. The estate's reds reveal intense aromas of black fruits, pepper, and violet, with ample mouthfeel and persistent finish. An essential estate for enthusiasts of Côte-Rôtie and Saint-Joseph.
