Excellent concentration, but it is the brilliance that this is married to that makes the wine stand out. Extremely long and precise finish with great mineral freshness. A cuvee of 80% syrah and 20% viognier, co-fermented. Partly matured in large oak foudre and partly in barrique. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!-- Vineyard Bullet 1 --\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Côte Blonde Granite Terroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sourced primarily from steep, terraced south- and southeast-facing slopes within the Côte Blonde in Ampuis. Unlike the darker schist of the Côte Brune, the soils here are composed of pale arzel (decomposed mica-schist and granitic sand), which naturally yields Syrah of immense aromatic lift, seductive perfume, and filigreed, velvety tannins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!-- Vineyard Bullet 2 --\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChristine Vernay’s Masterful Touch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crafted by Christine Vernay, who brought the same legendary precision her family pioneered in Condrieu to Côte-Rôtie. Co-fermenting approximately 95% Syrah with 5% Viognier using indigenous yeasts, the wine matures for up to 24 months in French oak barrels (around 25% new), capturing classic Côte-Rôtie grace without overt oak weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- HIGHLIGHTS --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eCo-fermented blend of roughly 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier from terraced Côte Blonde parcels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eCrafted with certified organic viticulture by the iconic Domaine Georges Vernay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eFrom the stellar 2020 Northern Rhône vintage; prime drinking window 2025 through 2038+.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- TASTING NOTES --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003eDeep ruby-purple with violet highlights, it opens with pure, intoxicating aromas of black raspberries, dark cherries, and fresh violet blossoms, interwoven with crushed black pepper, smoked bacon, dried herbs, and pulverized granite.
