Description
// 100% Syrah - 40 to 60 years
"Produced on the most easterly vineyards of the hill, where soils are deeper. Soils linked to the river terraces of the Rhône composed of limestone on colluvium. Hand-picked, sorting on the plot, in small crates. The vatting period lasts around 4 weeks with gentle extractions. Aged in French oak barrels (15% new)." - Winemaker Notes
"With epic balance and stunning poise, La Maison Bleue is a Burgun- dian-shaped Hermitage in 2020, making it all the more intriguing and memo- rable. Like the others in this portfolio, the control here is remarkable, and the weight and length are astounding, too. Iodine and menthol hints coupled with garrigue and sanguineous moments add drama and detail to the sleek black core, but this is not an over-ripe or over-enthusiastic wine but a measured and contemplative soul. Delicious." - 18.5+ out of 20 Points, Matthew Jukes
