Wine Description

The 'Parcelle de Jean' 2020 is a pure expression of Syrah, offering a deep ruby colour in the glass. Aromas unfold with layers of black cherry, violet, cracked pepper, and hints of smoked meat, characteristic of Northern Rhône Syrah. On the palate, it is medium to full bodied with finely woven tannins, presenting flavours of ripe blackberry, plum, savoury herbs, and a subtle minerality. The wine carries excellent freshness and balance, leading to a long, pepper-spiced finish that showcases both power and elegance.
