Product Description
From the distributor: 60% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 5% Counoise from six parcels at the Suzette estate, over 1,500 ft in the Dentelles de Montmirail. The location is a sweet spot for soil diversity: limestone, clay, schist and sand provide a well-drained home for old-vines (50+ years). In 2015, altitude proved its luxury, deflecting problems of rot which plagued much of the Southern Rhône. The 2015 syncs big expression with finesse. The Syrah pops big with all its spice-dust and crusty earth, and Grenache fills-in the gaps with its mouthwatering strawberry and raspberry fruits. And that sliver of Counoise? Isabelle and Sabine admire its soft spice and floral fruit, locking-in freshness over force.
