About this product
From the ancient schist plateau of Berlou — pure Syrah biodynamically farmed on the mineral-poor, well-drained schist that gives Saint-Chinian its most distinctive wines. Cool mountain influence at 400m combines with Mediterranean sun to produce a Syrah of remarkable freshness and aromatic intensity: violet, graphite, black olive, garrigue, smoked meat, and an iron-schist mineral note that is unmistakably of this extraordinary terroir.

Mountain Syrah with mountain lamb — the wine's violet and garrigue notes complement rosemary perfectly. Lentils provide earthy depth while the lamb's fat is balanced by Syrah's mineral precision.
