The wine
This cuvée is made completely of Syrah grapes from a particularly steep clay-limestone terroir. Aged in oak barrels for 16 and 18 months, it unfurls a lovely garnet hue which exudes notes of élevage (wood, smokiness, roasting,) and dark fruit. Its soft tannins give it great length and good aging potential.
About the Producer Courbis

They produce some 160,000 cuvées in the Saint-Joseph, Cornas, Crozes-Hermitages and Saint Péray appellations.
