La Sensonne

2006 Saint-Joseph Syrah

The Pierre & Jerome Coursodon La Sensonne is a captivating expression of Syrah from the renowned Saint-Joseph region. This exquisite red wine boasts a full-bodied character, offering a delightful, mouthwatering balance of high acidity that enlivens the palate. With notable tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit, this wine is inviting and approachable. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by subtle notes of spice and oak from careful aging. The wine is crafted in a dry style, making it a delightful choice to pair with various dishes, enhancing any dining experience. This 2006 vintage triumphs in both elegance and complexity, reflecting the unique terroir of Saint-Joseph.

Region:

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.
