Tasting Notes
An outstanding cuvée from a small family estate, in a fantastic vintage. Run by the Boyers from their Medieval fortified house in the Rhone valley. A delicious, classic red from southern Rhone. Made from Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan, it is fresh and fruity.
Traditional vinification in concrete tanks, using low temperature fermentation (under 20°C / 68°F). Maceration in tanks for 2 to 4 weeks.
Captivating aromas of raspberry jam, violet, and prominent hints of dried thyme and rosemary define this sun-kissed Syrah blend. Indulgent flavors of baked black cherry and grape jelly create a rich, hedonistic experience. The wine’s luxurious, silky texture beautifully contrasts with its ripe, firm tannins. On the finish, enduring notes of earthiness and spice add depth and complexity to this delightful ensemble.
Food Pairings
From beef and lamb to tuna, goose and game, or else fattiercuts of pork. It is amazing with barbecue as a lot of people pick up cedar and wood smoke aromas in the wine that flatter any steak you toss on the barbecue.
