Syrah

The home of Syrah lies in the northern Rhône Valley, where it reaches peak performance on steep slopes. Its profile is characterised by dark forest berry fruit, black pepper, floral violet notes and a fine, smoky, bacon-like savouriness. On the palate, it always shows great structure, with a dense, fine-grained tannic framework and a lively vein of acidity that lends it a noble coolness. That this grape variety can also convey an irrepressible drinking pleasure away from classic heaviness is demonstrated by Matassa with a wonderfully light-footed, fresh interpretation from the Roussillon.

In the classic style of the northern Rhône, Du Coulet presents the variety with that typical, meaty spice and deep elegance that has made it world-famous. Whether enjoyed on its own, as a fine partner in a rosé, or paired with braised lamb, it always brings character and an enticing depth to the glass.
