With the help of Philippe Cambie, a leading oenologist from the Rhône Valley, Michel Gassier has made a name for himself in the Costières de Nîmes area, never hesitating to challenge himself in order to produce even finer and more digestible wines. His Syrah illustrates this. It has a lovely nose of dried rose, liquorice and black fruit. The body is dense and continuous, the tannin fruity. A very successful wine with perfect freshness. Wine Spectator : 90/100

Technique

Viticulture

Yield limitation by disbudding and green harvesting. Manual harvesting at full skin and aromatic maturity.

Oenology

1/3 of the grapes are harvested whole and 2/3 are de-stemmed. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 5 days to maximise the aromatic extraction. Fermentation regulated at 24OC with delestage to preserve the fruit. Static maceration under marc at 28OC for 2 weeks to favour the coating of the tannins. Aged in French oak barrels for 9 months.
