Syrah2025

Grape Variety: 100% Syrah (two Damas selections originating from Côte-Rôtie) Terroir: Auvergne. Volcanic lahars, pumice stone, and clay-limestone soils. The vineyard is located on a plateau at 450 metres above sea level, formed by volcanic activity from the Sancy Massif. The terroir is characterized by significant temperature variations and low rainfall due to the proximity of the Sancy mountains. Harvest: Hand-picked in small crates. Pre-sorting is carried out directly in the vineyard. Winemaking: Traditional vinification using indigenous yeasts. A portion of whole clusters is retained at the bottom of the vat, with the grapes neither destemmed nor crushed. Four-week maceration. Aged for 9 months, with 50% of the wine matured in Burgundy barrels and 400-litre oak casks, while the remainder is aged in stainless steel tanks. Three rackings, no filtration.
