Clos Cessieux 2024

Saint-Joseph | Rouge | 2024

This Syrah fully expresses the richness of its granite-based terroir. The 32-year-old vines thrive on a coastal plot with a spiral-shaped terrain, benefiting from varied sun exposure. Thanks to controlled fermentation at low temperatures and careful aging on the lees in barrels for eight months, this wine develops a complex and refined structure. Its meticulous preparation requires two hours of decanting to fully release its subtle aromas.

Our Review of the Cuvée

On the nose, this wine reveals rich aromas of red fruit and black pepper, typical of Syrah. The palate is velvety, with a precise attack that evolves into a palette of delicately spicy flavors. The structure is elegant, supported by a silky texture resulting from aging on the lees. Mineral notes from the granite soil bring a lovely freshness, while decanting for two hours enhances the overall experience. A captivating harmony full of promise.

Rhône Valley | France

Hervé Souhaut cultivates his Ardèche vineyards, preserving the original character of the granitic slopes where Syrah achieves an ethereal expression. Gentle maceration during vinification yields refined reds with pure fruit and a delicate texture, contrasting with the more robust profiles found in the northern Rhône Valley. Aging in old barrels maintains this transparency, allowing a consistent tension to emerge that supports the wines without hardening them. This results in a sensation of energetic, almost infused lightness, which defines the domain's style. A sensitive, patient approach that has profoundly influenced the new generation of Rhône winemakers.
