50% Syrah, 50% Grenache. A compelling and structured red that reflects the untamed charm of this lesser-known corner of the Southern Rhône. This wine pours a deep garnet hue and opens with aromas of blackberry compote, black olive, cracked pepper, and wild herbs—hallmarks of its rocky, limestone-rich terroir. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and savory, with dark fruit layered over smoky minerality and a firm tannic backbone. There's an earthy depth and tension here, balanced by a thread of freshness that carries through to a long, slightly spicy finish. This robust red is a natural partner for grilled lamb with rosemary, hotdogs and cheeseburgers, or herb-crusted pork tenderloin. Its structure and spice also complement aged cheeses like Tomme de Savoie or Comté, and it can stand up well to hearty lentil or bean stews. Decant for an hour to soften the tannins and reveal its full aromatic complexity, and serve slightly below room temperature for a gulpable delight.
