Etoile Noire

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah

Domaine Melody Etoile Noire, crafted from the esteemed Syrah varietal, hails from the renowned Crozes-Hermitage region, a gem of the Rhône Valley in France. This wine seduces with its deep, inky hue and an aromatically complex bouquet, featuring notes of ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, and a whisper of violet, intertwined with hints of black pepper and licorice. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure marked by notable tannins and a lively acidity that imparts a fresh, mouthwatering finish. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious layers of dark berry flavors accompanied by an elegant touch of minerality, reflecting the terroir of its prestigious origin. Drawing accolades and admiration, Etoile Noire is a true testament to the finesse and bold character of Crozes-Hermitage Syrah.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
