The Soul of Syrah: Jewel of Northern Rhône

Sale price $785.00 | In Stock Ships from our French cellar (Delivery in 4-10 days) | Drink or Cellar

This five-bottle set explores the deep character of Syrah as it thrives along the granite slopes of the Northern Rhône. From the legendary precision of Guigal La Turque in Côte-Rôtie to the bold structure of Alain Voge Cornas Vieilles Vignes and the lift of Gripa’s Saint-Joseph Le Berceau, this collection reveals Syrah’s full spectrum of texture, spice, and minerality. Including both benchmark producers and rising stars like Yves Cuilleron and Domaine du Monteillet, it offers a compelling portrait of the region’s most noble grape.

The 2018 E. Guigal La Turque exemplifies the power and finesse of Côte-Rôtie's revered Côte Brune. This Syrah-dominant blend offers an intense aromatic profile of dark berries, black olives, and exotic spices, underscored by notes of violets and roasted meats. On the palate, it showcases remarkable concentration and structure, with velvety tannins and a profound, mineral-driven finish, suggesting an impressive aging potential of 25-30 years or more.

Dark plum, cassis, and savory herbs dominate the 2021 Domaine Alain Voge Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes, underscored by smoky minerality. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity balance its powerful, age-worthy palate, finishing with complexity and length. This is a commanding expression of old-vine Cornas Syrah.

Blackberry, cassis, and black pepper dominate the 2022 Domaine Bernard Gripa Saint-Joseph Le Berceau Magnum, with violet and smoky minerality enhancing its complexity. Firm structure and bright acidity balance the concentrated palate, finishing with power and refinement. A remarkable Syrah in magnum format.

The 2021 Domaine du Monteillet Côte-Rôtie Fortis is a sophisticated and elegant Syrah, offering aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, violets, smoked meats, and cracked pepper. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish that showcases the complexity of Côte-Rôtie’s steep slopes. This wine reflects the Fortis cuvée's focus on power and finesse, highlighting the domaine’s dedication to craftsmanship.
This bold Syrah offers an expressive nose of blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum, interwoven with notes of black pepper, smoked meat, and a touch of violet. The palate is powerful yet refined, featuring concentrated dark fruit, savory spice, and a distinctive mineral edge, supported by firm tannins and bright acidity. A classic Cornas with impressive depth and structure, showcasing Yves Cuilleron’s precision and dedication to terroir.
