"100% Syrah from Ampuis and Saint-Cyr, with an “emphasis on the schist areas from the Brune up towards Verenay” (Livingstone-Learmonth, Wines of the Northern Rhône). Eighty-eight percent whole cluster, macerated for twelve days in stainless steel and wood vats. Aged eighteen months in twenty percent new, eighty percent two- to four-year-old oak barrels." —importer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Black raspberries and savory, stone and mineral notes. Hints of white pepper and dried, roasting herbs. There’s a meaty edge, too. The palate is so focused and precise with really powerful, clear-cut tannins drawing out the plum flavors. Will age well. Try in 2020." —JamesSuckling.com "Opaque, bright-rimmed ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry and boysenberry, incense, candied violet and smoky minerals. Intense, palate-staining black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors are complicated by exotic spice and mineral notes that become stronger with air. Closes on a youthfully tannic note, showing outstanding delineation, impressive persistence and sweet dark berry notes that hang on tenaciously." —Vinous |
