Wine information
This pure Syrah comes from the Entrevon parcel in Malaucène, located at 350 metres on the north side of Mont Ventoux. The rock dates from the third period of the Miocene with sandy soils. The grapes were hand-picked, destemmed to 90 % and fermented in concrete cuve for twelve days. This was followed by ageing in stainless steel for eleven months and in bottle for nine months. 1,581 bottles were produced.
Color
slightly transparent violet
Nose
The Entrefrom combines yeasty notes and fruit in a way that reminds one of fresh plum cake from the oven. With air, which the still young wine desperately needs, it becomes fleshy and dark-fruited with a little cassis and cherries. In addition, there are notes of dark chocolate and black olive tapenade, while the hint of seasoned beef remains quite present.
Palate
On the palate the Entrefrom A balanced and profound Syrah from Ventoux with an impressive balance of freshness and maturity. The tannin here is already fine-pored in parts, but still has a pithy side. The acidity is lively, the fruit warm and dark. It is a mixture of forest fruit, plums and cassis, a few cherries, peat and violets with a little olive tapenade. The overall habitus seems powerful, but is elegant, juicy and fleshy!
