Famille Fabre “Domaine de Luc” Syrah–Viognier – Pays d’Oc, France
Producer's Notes:
Louis is a viognier lover. He has never stopped developing this grape variety on his terroirs, you will find 4 very diverse expressions in the Famille Fabre range: an orange wine, a fresh viognier or the chimere “Condrieu-style” with a vinification in barrel! Here, we have a 80% Syrah and 20% Viognier! This blend of red and white grapes is only possible at harvest time, and the 2 ferment together. The result is a very floral, delicate and light red that is very flattering! And a wink at Côte-Rôtie.
What we say:
A deliciously expressive red blend from the South of France, this Syrah-Viognier from Domaine de Luc in Corbieres brings together peppery depth and aromatic lift. Expect aromas of blackberry, ripe plum and dark cherry wrapped in notes of violet, spice and a subtle floral lift from the Viognier component. On the palate, it’s medium-to-full-bodied with soft, plush tannins, juicy dark fruit and a rounded, balanced finish. Smooth yet flavourful - this wine brings a lovely blend of Rhône-style complexity and Mediterranean warmth, perfect for sharing over dinner or casual gatherings.
Grape varieties: Syrah with a touch of Viognier (blending style typical to Southern France)
