75cl

100% Syrah

Made with 100% Syrah from 30 year old vines. Matured for 24 months in new oak barrels and produced only in the best vintages. Intense nose of violet and black fruit. Concentrated on the palate with elegant and flowing tannins and great length. A powerful Côte-Rôtie which can be kept for a few years.

This incredible cuvée is aged in cask for 24 months and produced only from the best vintages. First revealing a deep color and dark undertones, it then reveals intense aromas of violets and black fruits followed by a beautiful aromatic power in the mouth, supported by its lively and elegant tannins. The finish really highlights the distinct potential to protect this incredible wine.
