Silice

2006 Saint-Joseph Syrah

The Pierre & Jerome Coursodon Silice is a remarkable Syrah from the esteemed Saint-Joseph region, showcasing the elegance and depth this area is known for. This red wine reveals a captivating deep garnet hue, inviting you to explore its complex aromatic profile. It expresses bold notes of dark fruit, including blackberries and plums, intertwined with hints of pepper and earthy undertones. On the palate, this full-bodied wine exhibits a high acidity that brightens the flavors, offering a refreshing lift despite its expressive richness. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing a solid structure that complements the wine's fruit intensity, which is notably prominent. As a dry wine, it makes an excellent pairing with hearty dishes, showcasing the artistry of Old-World winemaking. The 2006 vintage highlights the wine's potential for a graceful aging process, allowing it to evolve beautifully over the years.

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.
