This cuvée of old Syrah vines is a real sun bath. Ripe black fruit aromas and smoky notes dance in the glass. On the palate, there's fruitiness and a silky texture spiced with lovely acidity. The finish is subtly mineral and the length flattering. A fine discovery!

About the domain :

North-west of Lézignan-Corbières, a vast estate (180 ha) focused on exports, acquired in 1987 by Anne-Marie and Guilhem Durand. A first in Languedoc-Roussillon. In 2015, it was the first in Languedoc to pass into the hands of a Chinese group, the importer BHC International Wine Assets Management. Close to the Minervois region, the vineyard is set on an ancient terrace of the Aude, rich in rolled pebbles.

Bof, bof, bof... As someone who loves syrah, I'm frankly disappointed. It's not very strong and doesn't have too many different notes. A forgettable wine as it is.
