The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A true safe bet from the Côte-Rôtie, Mathieu Chambeyron—awarded 1 star by the French wine guide RVF—is shaking up the traditional hierarchy with his high-level wines. His 5-hectare estate has now firmly established itself as a leading name in the northern Rhône Valley, captivating us vintage after vintage with precise, deeply expressive wines. The flavors of ripe black fruit remain pure and vibrant, with oak aging that enhances rather than masks the character of the wine.
Wine The 2023 Red IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah is a deliciously inviting wine, bursting with fresh, vibrant fruit flavors. Pure and alluring notes of violet, black pepper, and black fruits shine through with remarkable clarity. The tannins are silky, and the gentle oak aging brings just a touch of spice and roundness, enhancing the wine’s supple, honest character.
Vinification Hand harvested, 100% destemmed. Fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete vats, regular pumping over and punching down. Aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels, tangential filtration before bottling.
