The wine region of Hermitage
Mythical northern Rhône cru on the eponymous hill on the left bank: signature Syrah as ruling red (≤15% Marsanne/Roussanne allowed) — dark robe, intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, spice, pepper, clove and violet, powerful texture and racy tannins, decade-long ageing. Signature Marsanne and Roussanne as ruling whites — white flowers (hawthorn, honeysuckle), dried fruits, honey and a buttery touch, aromatic finesse. AOC 1937, granite slopes, Massif Central.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
