Syrah.
Our Hermitage « Monier de la Sizeranne » grows on different types of soil, from West to East : - « les Bessards » : Granite origin. It forms the "soul" of a good Hermitage wine - « le Méal » : Old alluvial terrace, with a lot of gravels and rolled pebbles, more or less chalky - « les Greffieux » : Limon with rolled stones.
Hand harvesting at optimal maturity.
Venison fillet in red wine sauce. Beef rosted. Mature "Saint Félicien" cheese.

The grapes ferment in open wooden vats after total destemming. Two daily treadings ensure a good extraction of the tannins. The temperature of fermentation varies between 26 and 32°C.
Maturing takes place in oak casks, of which one third is new. Several rackings permit a slow and natural clarification process. This wine is unfiltered and unfined.
Colour : Deep garnet red, with purple highlights.
Nose : Red fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant), with a hint of liquorice.
Mouth : Good attack, it is a round, elegant wine, soft and concentrated tannins, and a long aftertaste of blackcurrant and raspberry, spicy when it is young.
