"A burst of blueberries—delicious and refreshing"

“An abundance of blackberries, a full-bodied structure, and a pleasant herbaceous freshness make this Côtes-du-Rhône an appealing wine. There’s a slight hint of dryness on the finish, but there’s so much fruit and depth that it actually adds to the wine. Good length. Enjoy now or celller.” (James Suckling 2022)

Manuals

Wine Production

The Syrah grapes were vinified as whole clusters in mid-September along with the white grapes; they underwent a long cold maceration with limited extraction, followed by the addition of Grenache and Mourvèdre at the end of fermentation, cold pressing, and malolactic fermentation.

Livestock Farming

About 20% of the wine is aged in barrels to refine the Syrah; the rest is aged in truncated-cone-shaped wooden and concrete tanks, with three standard rackings under inert gas before final blending

About the wine:

An abundance of blackberry flavors, a full-bodied profile, and a pleasant herbaceous freshness make this Côtes-du-Rhône an appealing wine. There’s a slight hint of dryness on the finish, but there’s so much fruit and depth that it actually enhances the wine. Good length. Enjoy now or celller.
