Syrah

spicy

charming

red meat

Its deep color and intense aroma of spices, blackcurrant, and blackberry captivate from the very first sip. On the palate, it is full-bodied, dense, and rich, with a delicate freshness and silky tannins. It pairs perfectly with beef gardiane or grilled ribeye. A signature cuvée full of character.

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

In Puissalicon, a charming little feudal village nestled between the sea and the mountains, the unique wines of Domaine des Capriers are born. The estate stretches from north to south along the Libron River. This gives it a wide variety of terroirs, ranging from the Villafranchian terraces in the north to the pink gravelly marl in the south, passing through limestone sandstone hills. Marion and Mathieu Vergnes, a young brother-and-sister winemaking duo who are passionate about this terroir, have taken over the family estate and produce high-quality wines there: the red Les-Larmes-d’Emma, a signature cuvée full of character; the red Rêve-de-Louis, a rich and easy-drinking wine; the new Octave cuvée, with definite aging potential; and the aromatic and crystal-clear Les-Larmes-d’Emma rosé. The two whites, Larmes-d’Emma (100% Viognier) and Rêve-de-Louis, are very aromatic, well-defined, lively, and balanced.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on June 25, 2025

A very pleasant Syrah with a beautiful ruby color. The meticulous winemaking process results in a slightly spicy palate, yielding a very pleasant, sunny wine.
