Presentation
La Cour des Dames wines pay tribute to an illustrious period in Occitan culture. The troubadours, celebrated poet-musicians, devoted themselves to lyric art and courted ladies. Using their oratorical talents at sumptuous banquets served in their honour, they also introduced their audiences to wine tasting. By combining wines, gastronomy, music and poetry they were the precursors of a certain Mediterranean art of living that has lasted to the present day.
Terroir
This Syrah reflects the diversity of the terroirs of Pays d'Oc. Influenced by the Mediterranean climate, this wine fully expresses its potential in a balanced style between spices and fruit.
Winemaking
Two vinification methods are used for this Syrah. A large proportion of the blend undergoes long maceration to extract all the aromatic richness of the grape variety. The other part undergoes carbonic maceration to preserve all the freshness and fruit.

Tasting
Syrah has a very dark colour and a fairly syrupy appearance. It has aromas of wild berry fruits (raspberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants), spices, cinnamon and a touch of mint. It is very rich and fat on the palate with a long, silky finish. This is a wine of a rare complexity.
Food pairings
Perfect with Mediterranean food, spicy dishes, sauced meats, game and charcuteries.
