Jean-Baptiste Souillard is a dedicated winemaker in the Northern Rhône. Unlike trendy styles, he focuses on "vins de garde," wines built to age and develop complexity. Souillard's meticulous approach results in singular expressions of Syrah that capture the essence of the land.
This Côte-Rôtie Côteaux de Bassenon is a Syrah crafted using traditional methods. Partial whole-cluster fermentation and aging in older oak barrels create a captivating wine. Expect a dance of savory flavors and black pepper on the palate, accented by hints of floral notes. Bright acidity and a firm structure provide a foundation for this complex journey. Decanting is recommended to unlock the wine's full potential.
