- Opaque and opulent, this wine shows the characteristics of Syrah from the Northern Rhone, with ripe cassis and rich chocolate undertones. Smooth, silky, and concentrated with fine tannins and harmonious balance through to a long finish.
The grapes were hand-harvested in small cases to preserve the quality of the fruit, which was then 100% destemmed and lightly pressed. Vinification took place in closed temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 30 to 32°C in the gravity-fed winery to keep pumping to a minimum. Maceration lasted 12 to 15 days, when the desired level of colour, flavours, and fine tannins were extracted. The wine was aged in oak, of which 20% was new, for a period of 16 months.
Opaque and opulent, with all the characteristics of Syrah from the Northern Rhône, with intense cassis and rich chocolate undertones. Smooth, silky and concentrated with fine tannins and harmonious balance through to a deliciously long finish.

| Winery | Located in a picturesque valley surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, the Royes vineyard forms an amphitheatre covering six hectares. This is a spectacular Saint Joseph site on south-facing steep slopes on the edge of Cornas. The soil is made of clay and limestone, which imparts elegance to the resulting wine. The vineyard is sustainably cultivated, but the steep slopes make mechanisation impossible; instead, the vines are meticulously cultivated by hand. |
