Domaine Garon - Côte Rôtie Sybarine 2022

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

This estate has a few pretty vines in the Côte Blonde area, including one on Goutay, near their home, but their best wine comes from Les Rochains, on the schists near La Landonne. The production still lacks homogeneity, but the style is authentic, with the mark of the whole harvest. The 2017s showed a beautiful face this year.

About the wine:

Sybarine is a cuvée from a granite terroir. It possesses both strength and elegance. It's a very well-mastered wine, with perfect respect for the material and velvety tannins.

About the domain :

The Garon sons bring out the best in the diversity of Côte-Rôtie terroirs. We are seduced by the style of the domaine's wines, which are distinguished by their finesse of texture. The fruit is precise, and the ageing progresses according to the terroirs and their ability to handle the wood. Among the different cuvées, La Sybarine evokes the expression of granitic soils; Les Triotes, located on the Côte Blonde, next to Lancement, comes from schist; Les Rochins is born on the brown schist of the Côte Brune.

About the wine:

A well-mannered 100% Syrah, lively and precise, with tension. The nose presents aromas of black fruits, roasted meat, dried herbs and baking spices. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Elegant, lively and pure, with a juicy core of black cherries and a pulpy character of crushed blueberries at the center. Well-built, with mouth-coating tannins and a concentrated, peppery finish of excellent persistence.
