Baron Phillipe de Rothschild Syrah Vin de Pays D'Oc

Wine information: In the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon, Baron Philippe de Rothschild's winemakers have selected the areas with the best soil and climate for growing the Syrah grape. In the region around Limoux in particular, offering a patchwork of micro-terroirs, they have chosen the highest quality parcels from their growers' vineyards. All year round, each selected parcel is individually and permanently monitored by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild team. In order to obtain highly aromatic and expressive wines, the grapes are picked at full maturity. The wines from each parcel are vinified separately before final blending. The wines are matured on fine lees in vats for six months then quickly bottled at BPDR's Saint-Laurent-Médoc winery in order to preserve all their freshness and fruit. The wine has a very dark, almost black colour and a powerful, tightly packed bouquet bursting with rich aromas of super-ripe fruit, prune, black cherry, liquorice and spice. Round and well-structured on the palate, with firm yet silky tannins, it gives an impression of power and elegance enhanced by very forward black fruit and some caramel and liquorice notes. the long and generous finish harmoniously expresses the rich flavours of this mediterranean variety.
