Igp « Ardeche » - Syrah -

2014 Ardeche Syrah

The Eric & Joel Durand IGP "Ardèche" Syrah from the 2014 vintage is a captivating expression of this iconic varietal. Hailing from the beautiful Ardèche region, this red wine showcases a full-bodied structure that is enhanced by a high acidity, making it both lively and engaging on the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark berries such as blackberry and hints of plum, seamlessly intermingled with notes of black pepper and subtle earthy undertones. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's rich character. Its dryness adds to the overall complexity, resulting in a deliciously well-rounded wine that is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own.

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.
