Red Wine - Still - 2021 - 75cl - La Massale - AOP Luberon, Rhone Valley, France

According to La Tulipe Rouge professional tasters: “An engaging fruitiness (raspberry, flowers), a silky, tender and ample palate, we clearly recognize the virtues of the semi-carbonic, skillfully framed by an aging which tightens the whole in the finish. 

A couple of years in the cellar and you can enjoy red meats or even poultry at the table.” Syrah in all its splendor: 99% Syrah, AOP required, for a nectar wine: peppery, candied black fruits, a small vintage of only 690 bottles, the first of its kind in Beauvence for the most demanding lovers. 

Drink from 2023 but with 5 more years it would be even better !   A very beautiful plot, oriented north-south with deep soils which had never supported vines before: planted in Syrah, with the plans for a mass selection of Lilian Bérillon, nothing less was needed for this small cuvée with great ambitions.   Organic cultivation.
