Syrah Domaine de l’Arkose Auvergne 2020

Description

 Les Terrasses is a pure and racy (yet profound) expression of Syrah which is reminiscent of its Rhone counterpart. This wine is from a massale selection of Syrah from Côte-Rotie and ‘Petite Syrah’ (Serine) from the Authezat conservatory vineyard. The vines are planted on terraces at an altitude of 400 metres, on the Arkose terroir of the beautiful village of Montpeyroux. The wine is fermented and aged in amphora and has an earthy/red brick quality. Juicy red berries, violets and peppery notes to the fore. Les Terrasses has both amplitude and balance. Would happily accompany veal, spiced pigeon, duck breast and all manner of game.
