About this wine

Le Troquet is designed as the domaine’s most immediate Syrah, but it receives the same careful élevage as the more serious appellation wines. The vineyards lie on predominantly granitic slopes facing Condrieu, giving the wine an attractive combination of ripe fruit and mineral freshness. Ten months in seasoned oak preserves the grape’s perfume rather than overlaying it with new wood. Blackberry, violet and pepper lead into a juicy, energetic palate that combines easy drinking with clear Northern Rhône identity.

Tasting Note

Critics describe ripe blackberry and spice, with an especially successful balance between freshness and power and a remarkably elegant, pleasure-driven palate.

In the glass

Deep ruby-purple.

In the nose

Blackberry, violet, cracked pepper and subtle savoury spice.

On the palate

Juicy and energetic, with ripe dark fruit, lively freshness, fine tannins and a peppery finish.

Julien Merlin

A rising independent winemaker based in the Northern Rhône, Julien Merlin established his domaine after gaining experience with Julien Pilon and working in New Zealand. His small-production Condrieu, Saint-Joseph and regional wines emphasise purity, balance and precise expressions of their terroir.
