I’ve been waiting for this Syrah impatiently, since it got bottled in March! I was very enthusiastic on the ‘18 vintage of this relatively new domain, and surely the quality keeps going up. not disappointed by the ‘19, just the opposite!

This is crunchy, elegant, on the fruit, light, aerial.⁣
Light spice and berries like currant and blackcurrant.⁣
Tight enough thanks to a nice acidity backbone and slight salinity. ⁣
We’re very close to North-Rhône but this is definitely more alpine and fresh. — 6 years ago
