Gaillard Syrah Terres de Mandrin 2011

The Syrah in this bottle comes from a vineyard Gaillard planted in the plain of the Drôme around the Crozes-Hermitage appellation and on the granite plateaus overlooking the Saint-Joseph appellation. The soils are especially adapted to vine-growing. They produce fresh and supple wines that are typical of the northern part of the Rhone Valley. This wine benefits from a bit less extraction than the appellation wines nearby, but it still expresses the fresh qualities and fleshy fruitiness associated with the Syrah grape variety. The wine is matured on lees in vats in order for the tannins to become more supple, thereby combining well with the fruitiness offered by the Syrah grape variety. Strawberry, raspberry, black currant and red currant aromas come to the fore. In its youth this wine exhales very fresh and very pleasant notes.
