Juicy pure Syrah with violet notes

Jan 27th, 20212018 vintage. 100% Marsanne. Partly fermented in oak. 15% of the volume went through malolactic fermentation. 75% aged in 400 liter oak casks. Cave de Tain is one of the best and reliable cooperatives in France with very good value for money. This Saint-Péray is no exception to the rule. Flowers and stone fruit with good structure and a mineral hint. Good length too. What would one ask more for 10,90 euros?

Hints of leather and spice with minimal fruit / berries; smooth and light bodied.

Last bottle of 2019. A quality/price ratio of the most. Bravo the Tain cellar which produces very beautiful bottles at all prices with consistency and quality. The characteristics expected on a Crozes-Hermitages (expressive qualities of syrah) are present here: basket of juicy red and black fruits, peppery notes, rounded tannins merging with a smoked mineral weft, itself intertwined in floral notes of violet... the syrah we love, between opulence and finesse.
Dernière bouteille du 2019. Un rapport qualité/prix des plus sur. Bravo la cave de Tain qui produit de très belles bouteilles à tous les prix avec cohérence et qualité. Les caractéristiques attendues sur un Crozes-Hermitages (qualités expressives de la syrah) sont ici bien présentes: panier de fruits rouges et noirs juteux, notes poivrées, tanins arrondis se confondant avec une trame minérale fumée, elle même s’enlaçant dans des notes florales de la violette… la syrah qu’on aime, entre opulence et finesse.

A crunchy syrah that honors varietal notes on the side of fruit and freshness. Juicy and peppery with pretty notes of violet. Elegance and greed. To drink within 5 years of the vintage.
Une syrah croquante mettant les notes variétales à l’honneur du côté du fruit et de la fraîcheur. Juteux et poivré avec des jolies notes de violette. Élégance et gourmandise. À boire dans les 5 ans suivant le millésime.

Very enjoyable notes of blackberry, black cherry, and secondary flavours of chocolate and slight charred wood. Slight butter and cheese notes and a bit of spice.
