Description
#72 in Top 100 World, 2024. Incredible concentration and every bit as much finesse. The forest berry notes are right off the scale, just like the stony minerality, which some may find too much, but for me is totally exciting. The drive and energy at the finish must be experienced to be believed. Decades of aging potential. From vineyards planted in 1926 by the winemaker’s grandfather in the Les Greffieux and Le Meal sections of the hill of Hermitage. Best from 2027.

Varietal
Syrah
Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet’s most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn’t easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.
