Syrah Grand Cru 2018

Tasting note

On the nose, intense and expressive notes of violets and black fruits such as blackberries, cassis and blueberries, accompanied by white and black pepper, cloves, licorice, supported by light roasted notes. Complex on the palate with aromas of forest fruits, black olives and spices, followed by roasted notes such as coffee and strong tannins. An intense, long-lasting finish.

Terroir

Enclosed by high walls, the wonderful Monopol vineyard lies on 8 hectares of terraces, west of Yvorne downhill from the Rhône Valley. This perfect south-facing location opposite the Dents du Midi benefits from continuous sunlight from morning to evening. The soil consists of Alpine Rhône moraine with limestone.
