"Incredibly dark and still not quite at its peak, though starting to take on some interesting tertiary aromas: a touch of acetate, rubber, polished leather. Lovely texture, great tension still. Tannins still pleasantly angular, and great length. Very well balanced, powerful and tannic still. From lieux-dits Combe, Patou, La CĂ´te, TĂŠzier, Mazards, Chaillot, old vines of Chapelle St Pierre (the same plots for the cuvĂŠe Les Chailles, but further up the slopes). Racked in May, bottled in June, released in the autumn. 20% whole bunch, three weeks maceration, 20 months in oak, 10%-15% new."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
