This singular expression of pure Syrah exudes a stunning interplay of power, beauty, and elegance. Immediate sappy and mineral-laden aromas weave through black plum, boysenberry, violets, lavender, and fresh vanilla, layered with savory herbs and a hint of meatiness. The palate is textured and silky, with tannins that are well integrated, framing touches of mushroom and iodine. A satin-like texture develops with aeration, demonstrating that this wine is built to age gracefully well through 2040+. 

Remarkably cherryish – an unusual aromatic marker in this vintage. The palate is really quite tight, taut, with marked acidity, herbal aromatics and textural grip. The freshness and intensity are palpable. This has great clarity, brightness and serious energy. Very grippy, and the acidity is sharp. No oak is used during maturation. HVE-certified in the vineyard.

A sleek, winey version, with a perfumed lift to its black cherry notes, while a gentle brush of oak polish and singed alder rounds off the edges. Elegant and well-packed, this gets its energy from a chalky mineral streak that runs through the snappy, pleasingly dusty finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2034.

The 2023 Hermitage Blanc Domaine des Tourettes, fermented and aged for one year in barrels (50% new oak), presents vividly intense cedar, vanilla, honeysuckle, dried chamomile and lemon flesh notes. Medium-bodied and sapid, the 2023 delivers saline dimensions on an uplifting finish with meticulously preserved freshness.

The 2022 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes unzips ripe red fruit, black cherry and black plum notes alongside stemmy gradations and a flicker of black pepper. Medium-bodied, taut and structured, the savory 2022 requires at least three more years in a cool cellar for the firm tannic core to mellow.
