"As with all our wines, we don’t use sulfur on the grapes, we ferment with wild yeasts and we macerate very softly in large wooden fermenters without using any mechanical tools. Grapes and must are neither heated nor cooled. During the wine’s two years of maturation, we make only one soutirage – for the rest of the time, the wine just matures slowly." A blend of Syrah and Blaufrankish, this is a knockout wine. Fruit-focused, with supple tannins and pure acidity, it has great finesse and is quite pinot-like in style. On the nose, there are enticing hints of red cherries, plums, and violets while the first sip reveals a mouthwatering acidity and medium body. The rich red fruit flavors on the palate linger long on the tongue and the moderate tannins and finely-built structure make this a great choice for extended cellaring over the next few years.
