About: Schist soil Syrah from low-key superstar winemaker Hervé Souhaut at his domaine Romaneaux-Destezet. Whole bunches and a semi-carbonic maceration create a pure expression of the grapes growing just behind the winemaker's house, with the savoury, peppery and mineral complexity of a top Rhone red. The nose is meaty and intense, while the palate is lean and voluptuous.
