2024 Domaine Monier Perreol, IGP Collines Rhodaniennes, VdP, Syrah-Viognier

A pure expression of Syrah from the Northern Rhône Valley. It is produced by Domaine Monier Perreol, led by Jean-Pierre Monier, who is dedicated to biodynamic farming and minimal intervention, aiming for wines that capture the granite terroir's essence. The Syrah grapes for this wine are grown on high-elevation, granite-rich slopes in the hills above the Saint-Joseph appellation. This wine is known for its incredible freshness, vibrancy, and a distinct mineral edge. It offers a bright, floral character with notes of crushed granite, black pepper, tart blackberry, and savory spice. It's approachable, linear, and a fantastic introduction to the elegance of Northern Rhône Syrah.
