Domaine Garon - IGP Seyssuel Syrah Jardins de Rome 2023
93/100
RVF
“A complex and elegant wine worth discovering”
The Romans tended their vineyards like gardeners, and Rome is still renowned today for the beauty of its gardens. It’s easy to imagine the Seyssuel vineyard tended with as much care as the “Gardens of Rome” of that era. This still-little-known appellation combines the finesse and beauty of the renowned terroirs of nearby Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu. An IGP worthy of the great AOPs of the Rhône!

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This estate owns several lovely vineyards in the Côte Blonde region, including one on the Goutay, near their home, but their best wine comes from Les Rochains, on the schist soils near La Landonne. The production still lacks consistency, but the style is authentic, bearing the hallmark of whole-cluster fermentation. The 2017 vintage showed great promise this year.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Garon wines beautifully showcase the diversity of the Côte-Rôtie terroirs. We are captivated by the estate’s winemaking style, which stands out for its refined texture. The fruit is precise, and the aging profiles gain depth depending on the terroirs and the winemaker’s skill in managing oak. Among the various cuvées, La Sybarine reflects the character of the granite soils; Les Triotes, located on the Côte Blonde, next to Lancement, is made from schist; Les Rochins is crafted from the brown schist of the Côte Brune.
