"Bright and tempting, it's juicy and rounded with sweet plum, cherry and mixed spice notes on the nose, followed by a silky-smooth palate that's fruit-forward and lingering. Upfront and friendly. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2022

This wine has a nice dark colour. It exhales delicious scents of blackberry and raspberry enhanced by hints of spices. It is rich, complex and long on the palate.

Syrah is a late variety (budding and ripening) with low fertility but good vigor. Its best yields are obtained at less than 40 hectoliters per hectare and it is difficult to obtain more in areas that are generally infertile with poor soils. This variety fares better in rocky, shallow, well-drained soils. Granite or schist soils mixed with clay, which are more acidic, suit it perfectly. Soils with a high proportion of schist lead to more robust, tannic wines, with a greater potential for ageing. The grapes come from granitic soils with clay, and schistous soils.

The vinification process for Syrah grapes in this wine includes a 6- to 10-day vatting period and a hot prefermentation maceration period. Our Syrah is aged in vats for about 6 to 8 months.

La Belle Angèle wines praise this figure of the «Belle Epoque» by embodying the same values that characterized the woman : charm, elegance, joie de vivre and fine taste.
