Co-fermented with viognier. Full-bodied, and steps outside the usual elegant Salomon style, daring to lead to the top of the Rhone Valley. There are some exciting dark fruit flavours (despite the viognier) and well bred tannins.

95% Syrah, barrel-aged for 20 months in 300L hogsheads (primarily French oak, with a small percentage of American oak). A cuvée in the tradition of the northern Rhone Côte-Rôtie region. A deep ruby hue with a bouquet of floral tones, dark berries, tobacco, and soft leather. A lush fruitiness on the palette, with well-meshed tannins. A wine with depth and the utmost elegance, finely fruity and complex in finish. This wine blooms when decanted.
