Robe sombre.Nez typique de fumé,de violette,d'olive noire.Bonne intensité mais pas magistrale non plus.La bouche offre les mêmes saveurs mais il reste quelques tanins à fondre,ce qui donne un petit côté astringent qui amoindrit la cote finale.Millésime moyen également il faut le noter...

A blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier, from schistous soils, 13 months in oak (75% new). Medium-deep purple colour, youthful; rich, black fruit on the nose, noticeable but well-integrated new oak, violets and spicy minerality; polished and silky palate, glossy even, modern style, finely grained tannins, good concentration and also elegance; sinewy finish needs some time, good length. An attractive wine (even if I don’t really get the Viognier), for the medium term. Drink now - 2025.
