Pascal Luyton and Raphaël Fleury are two cousins passionate about wine and the Northern Rhône region. Taking over the family vineyards was a natural choice to continue their family's vineyard legacy, and that's how Domaine Luyton-Fleury was born. Situated in close proximity to Mauves, this vineyard brings forth exquisite wines from Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, and Saint-Péray. In essence, it showcases the epitome of Rhône excellence!

creating a beautifully nuanced Syrah. The wine boasts a moderate, well-rounded body, bursting
with lively, sun-kissed berry flavors. Delicately integrated tannins and a lingering crushed stone
finish contribute to its fresh and balanced character.
