100% Syrah from his 11-acre upper terrace planted in 1955. Certified organic and biodynamic. Low 30 hl/ha yields. Violets, blueberry, savory, but keeps changing.

Nose dominated by great, deep red & black berry fruit rather than big meat (though that lingers in the back ground) deep floral, violets and black pepper along with charred red meat, great texture in the mouth, soft, melting, fruit forward tannin with t lovely bitter cherry and juicy black berry fruit that makes this eminently drinkable with a great purity of fruit on the length.
