Discovering Syrah, a grape variety with character

Syrah, the balance between power and elegance

Syrah is one of the grape varieties that shape the identity of the great wines of southern France. Known for its aromatic depth and beautiful structure, it is a must for Mediterranean terroirs.

Originally from the Rhône Valley, it thrives particularly well in the Languedoc and on the stony soils of sun-drenched hillsides. Resistant to wind and summer heat, it produces powerful, elegant wines of great complexity.

Intense, spicy aromas

Syrah is an expressive grape variety, distinguished by its black fruit notes - blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry - often accompanied by a touch of pepper, licorice and sometimes violet. With age, it develops more complex nuances, evoking leather, cocoa or smoky notes. Although it can be vinified on its own, it is also frequently blended with other Mediterranean grape varieties, notably Grenache and Mourvèdre, which bring roundness and structure respectively.
