Stony-mineral and flinty complexity here. This delivers a very taut, very compact and composed palate with tightly bedded tannins. Really dense and intense. The precision and spicy fruits are wildly compelling. Elegant with power here again! Sexy, pure syrah, matured in 100 per cent barriques, from a small 0.4-ha plot, planted in 1991. Barrel sample. ...

Bright purple. Pungent cherry, blueberry and violet aromas are complemented by hints of exotic spices, potpourri and smoky minerals. Succulent and penetrating in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated, appealingly sweet black and blue fruit flavors, a hint of vanilla and a violet pastille quality that builds steadily on the back half. Hefty and broad yet energetic as well, finishing with mounting tannins and outstanding, floral-driven persistence.

Intensely penetrating layers of sweet spice, vanilla and smoke lend an unabashedly flashy demeanor to this unusually opulent Northern Rhône Syrah. Matured in 100% new oak, it will need some time in the cellar to allow its core of ripe blackberry and plum flavors plus nuances of mint and bramble to peek through. It's quite decadent now but should ease up a bit from 2023. (Cellar Selection)
Winery
Finesse, balance and intensity summarize this wine. Supple tannins and aromatic complexity reminds us the beauty of this terroir. Dark purple with potent aromas of blackberry liqueur, licorice and floral oils that are complicated by a peppery note and a hint of vanillin oak. Dense, round and seamless on the palate, showing a suave, velvety texture to its flavors of dark berry compote and cola. The long, sweet finish features impressive energy, lush tannins and an exotic floral pastille flourish. Pairs with red meats, stuffed eggplant or strong cheeses.

Varietal: Syrah

The Shiraz or Syrah grape varietal has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few decades, partly due to the fact that more and more wineries around the world are beginning to plant and process this robust and flavorful grape for international audiences. This varietal has plenty going for it, and has the special ability of being able to clearly express positive features of its terroir in the bottle, alongside its characteristic flavors of dark berries, pepper and other spices. Shiraz/Syrah is also notably a highly versatile grape, and has been successfully used in several type of still red wine, as well as excellent sparkling and fortified wines. It is also regularly used as a blending grape, where it is prized for its ability to add a bold and strong, spicy punch to mellow, blended wines.

Region: Rhone Valley

There are few wine regions in the world with a history as long and illustrious as that of the Rhone Valley in France. For over two thousand years, wines have been produced in this region, benefited by the excellent, mineral-rich soils of the region, and the varied climate which allows a wide range of grape varietals to grow. The Rhone Valley is now split into two quite separate regions, with the north part being characterized by its cooler, continental climate and the limited number of grape varietals grown, and the southern sub-region being perfect for growing a wide range of grapes, and producing an exciting number of different wine styles. The Rhone Valley is associated with elegant, flavorful wines, and certain grape varietals such as Viognier and Syrah, which are adept at expressing the finer features of their terroir.

With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
