Description

Domaine de la Pierre Latine Syrah Aigle Grand Cru 'Cuvee Excellentia, Clos du Crosex Grille' 2019Syrah has a particular affinity for the terroir of Yvorne (and, for that matter, for the eastern Vaud and western Valais in general), and Philippe works a 4,000 vine plantation (0. 13 hectares) of 30 year old vines on the Clos du Crosex Grills lower terraces. The Syrah Cuve Excellentia is vinified with 100% whole clusters, and Philippe ages it for a year in 50% new wood before bottling. Though thick and ripe, there is no sense of overextraction here,

“Egesta” is the old Hellenic name for an area of western Sicily close to Aldo’s vineyards

we have a wine frequently marked by red fruits

It is chiseled and elegant

a Foreau Demi-Sec will be at the 8 to 12 grams RS level

but all are made in the vein of Le Puy’s iconic “Barthélemy”: aging two years in old 228-liter barrels on the gross lees which are stirred in (“dynamized”) regularly

With appetizing black and dark red fruits

30% Grenache (1962) and 10% Mourvèdre (1949)

this wine results from grapes sourced from “Cerri Sottani”

“Lavaux Saint-Jacques” is one of the more famous and coveted sites in the appellation

In the cellar

ultra-fresh Humagne Rouge ferments with 80% whole clusters and spends two winters in a combination of barriques and demi-muids

it can benefit from a quick decanting or even better
