Presentation
Presentation
The Tournon-sur-Rhône granitic soils are well-draining and can retain heat, which is beneficial for grape ripening. They impart mineral qualities to the grapes, adding complexity and distinctiveness to this bottling. The combination of granitic soils and the region's favorable climate creates an ideal environment for grape cultivation, resulting in a wine with a specific terroir-driven identity and a definite sense of place.

Tasting
This 100% Syrah wine exhibits sultry black-currant and plum flavors, accompanied by an earthy,
smoky undertone contributed by a subtle hint of tar. After being matured for 12 months in usedoak barrels, it emerges as a weighty and powerful wine, brimming with luscious black fruit and a gracefully balanced acidity. The soft and silky tannins make it an immediately enjoyable
experience, but its potential for improvement is evident, and it is expected to age well until 2030.
