Description
The Syrah by Jean-Baptiste Souillard is a French red wine produced in the southern part of the Northern Rhône, specifically in Drôme. The grapes come from two small east-facing plots, situated at about 300 meters altitude on soils composed of clay on sand, cultivated sustainably and with vines planted in the 1980s and 1990s.
Vinification takes place with spontaneous fermentation and a maceration of 2-3 weeks with pump-overs, using a percentage of whole clusters varying between 40% and 100%. Aging occurs in used oak barrels for a period ranging from 13 to 18 months, without fining or filtration, and with minimal use of sulfites, dosed during vinification and adjusted only if necessary.
On the nose, it opens with aromas of red fruits, sweet spices, and light herbal notes. On the palate, it is elegant and lively, with well-integrated tannins, a fine texture, and a savory and persistent finish that faithfully reflects the terroir's character.
It pairs perfectly with dishes based on red meat, game, or aged cheeses.
