The wine region of Grignan-les-Adhémar
Rhône AOC in the north of Drôme Provençale (left bank): Syrah signature as king red (>=10%) with Grenache Noir — ruby robe with violet hints and fruity-spicy profile with signature notes of red and black fruits, garrigue, liquorice, spices and a floral oaked touch, balanced tannins and southern freshness, 10-year keeping for Syrah. AOC (2010, formerly Coteaux du Tricastin), ~1,800 ha between Dauphiné and Provence, limestone, clay and pebble soils, mistral.
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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
