About this wine

Le Nordique comes from Syrah vines in Malleval at the northern end of Saint-Joseph, where granite soils favour a particularly fine and energetic expression of the variety. The grapes are completely destemmed but left largely uncrushed, encouraging gentle intracellular fermentation before a relatively long maceration. Ageing takes place in seasoned barrels so the oak frames the wine without masking the fruit. Cassis, blackberry and black olive meet white pepper and spice over a structured but supple palate with silky tannins.

Tasting Note

Critics describe cassis, black fruit and olive with white pepper and spice, followed by a full but delicate palate with beautiful structure, silky tannins and a long fresh finish.

In the glass

Deep ruby-purple.

In the nose

Cassis, blackberry, black olive, violet and white pepper.

On the palate

Structured yet supple, with concentrated dark fruit, peppery spice, fresh acidity and silky tannins.
