"A racy Syrah

Selected from the best barrels of old Syrah vines over 40 years old, Cuvée Paul reflects even more of the appeal of its terroir, even "wilder" and sunnier. Hints of vanilla, licorice and dry earth lead to a palate of ripe plums, both velvety and full-bodied. Benefiting from a longer maceration, this cuvée de Vieilles Vignes perfectly expresses the richness of a racy Syrah.
