Intensity
A Syrah with excellent fruit notes and an intense but smooth tannic structure. It will pair well with grilled meats and a variety of cheeses.
More infoLes 4 Vents is a 100% Syrah cuvée from vines between 30 and 40 years old. These come from parcels grown in La Roche de Glun, south of the appellation. The destemmed harvest is vinified in vats. Vatting lasts between 3 and 4 weeks, with as little intervention as possible. Élevage lasts 1 year, half in tanks and half in demi-muid barrels. The result is an intense red wine with small purple glints. The nose delivers notes of red berries and spices. The palate is in the same vein, in a jammy register. The tannins are prominent and well integrated, and encourage pairings with grilled meat and aubergine puree.

About the Producer Les 4 vents (anciennement Domaine de Lucie)
Domaine les 4 Vents - formerly Domaine de Lucie - lies in Mercurol in the heart of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Lucie Fourel moved here in 2006, not far from her parents who supplied grapes to the Cave at Tain l'Hermitage. She converted her 4-hectare vineyard to organic in 2007 but didn't release her first vintage until 2010 (until then she supplied a cooperative). Lucie's sister, Nancy, joined her in 2013 and when their parents retired in 2015 they took over their 6 hectare vineyard and renamed the business Domaine les 4 Vents. The property is fully certified as organic and the wines are made with indigenous yeasts and no additives. This very interesting domain is definitely one to watch!
