Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing.

The word of the wine: Breeding
It can last for several years. The bottles are stacked in the cellars and waited for the light and heat. The yeasts gradually give the wine compounds that enrich it. A long maturation is a guarantee of quality.
