"Aromatic complexity, depth, and character!"
Terre d'Éclat is a selection of old Syrah vines vinified using traditional methods with gentle extraction to reach its full potential, followed by extended aging in barrels. A wine with an intense color and complex aromas of red fruits. Its round, spicy palate reveals notes of morello cherry, leading to a structured finish. The velvety tannins lend a very pleasant textural dimension. It pairs perfectly with charcuterie, red meats, game, as well as vegetable tian and chocolate desserts...

About the estate:
Although this vineyard was established in 1919, it is under the current generation’s stewardship that it has truly made a name for itself. Sébastien Girard has transitioned the approximately twenty hectares to biodynamic farming. In the Saviaux and Châssis sectors of Crozes-Hermitage, the grapes ripen well—sometimes a bit too much when global warming comes into play. Thanks to the biodynamic practices implemented here, the wines retain their structure, remaining elegant and fresh, without succumbing to opulence or heaviness.
