James Suckling
“At the crossroads between Syrah from the Northern Rhône and Syrah from the New World”
A deep, dark color that reveals ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry) on the first sniff, followed by a burst of spices and Mediterranean scrub (pepper, cinnamon, licorice, thyme, rosemary). On the palate, it offers ripe fruit and a velvety texture. A bottle that truly represents the Roussillon region!

About the estate:
South of Perpignan, Charles Perez has been running his estate since 2008 in the hamlet of Nyls, in the Aspres region: 25 hectares of organic vineyards spread across three hills within a 110-hectare estate. For his reds, his blends highlight Syrah. This figurehead of the vineyard is “sketched” by a different artist each year to illustrate his labels. The same goes for his family members. The Catalan Mouton Rothschild, so to speak!

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on June 8, 2025
Behind its cheerful and friendly appearance, “Charles” actually reveals an ultra-dense, deep profile that borders on being heady. On the palate, it unfolds with a full-bodied, velvety texture marked by lovely freshness, as well as a rich expression of macerated and spicy red and black fruits, set against a backdrop of cocoa notes. Supported by an imposing, even robust tannic structure, the whole blends into a tight and intense finish, enhanced by a slightly salty note. This wine of character is clearly meant for hearty dishes, such as a traditional cassoulet, or game dishes like roast venison with green pepper sauce. Score = 3.8.
