2022, Domaine de Mourchon, CÔTES-DU-RHÔNE, AOC, Villages Séguret, 'Family Syrah'
$48
70 year old vines on steep limestone and blue marl slopes
Made only when the vintage permits from some of the first vines to be planted at Mourchon, this wine is a wonderfully concentrated expression of Syrah in all its dark and powerful, sweet and savoury.
Deep dark, almost inky purple. This wine has an intense bouquet of smoked meat, an assortment of dark fruits, pepper and a touch of black olives. It is full bodied and concentrated but maintains grace and elegance despite the fruit intensity and pronounced tannins. This wine takes its place at the table when accompanied with anything deeply savoury from miso and mushrooms to steak and wild game.
