- An intensely coloured and deeply aromatic Syrah with pronounced aromas of red fruit layered with hints of dark chocolate and spice. Full-bodied on the palate with fine tannins this expresses Northern Rhone Syrah at its best.
The wine was produced organically, and the vinification involved minimal use of sulphur. A four-day cold soak was followed by temperature-controlled fermentation with natural yeasts, including several 'pages' or cap submersions to extract the desired levels of flavour and colour. Classical winemaking took place with pump-overs and treading. The free-run juice was extracted naturally, without pressing, at warm temperatures, followed by post-fermentation maceration lasting one week. The wine was transferred to an oak barrel, where it underwent malolactic conversion and maturation for 12 months.

| Winery | This family domain, located in the heart of Crozes-Hermitage, was established in 2006. It is run by Edgar and Jocelyne Girard and their son Sebastien. They produce top-quality wines by combining traditional winemaking techniques with modern technology. The wines are produced organically with minimal sulfur use and have been certified organic since the 2012 vintage. The grapes come from old, low-yielding vines over 35 years old. The clay-limestone soils with an abundance of pebbles provide good heat-retaining properties. The vineyard is certified organic and is undergoing conversion to biodynamic status. |
