This wine, made from 100% Syrah, comes from vines ranging in age from 35 to 50 years old, grown on weathered granite soils. The meticulous winemaking process, which involves destemming 80% of the harvest, includes cold maceration and aging in oak barrels for 9 to 12 months. This rigorous approach, which respects the terroir, produces a full-bodied, tannic wine reminiscent of the great Saint-Josephs, while remaining approachable thanks to its balanced structure.

Domaine Barou
In the hills of Ardèche, Domaine Barou has been cultivating its vines organically for many years. Located in the immediate vicinity of the Saint-Joseph appellation, the estate primarily works with Syrah in a more elongated and supple style than typically found on neighboring slopes.
Ripeness levels are deliberately contained to preserve fruit freshness and structural balance. The reds are built on polished tannins and a clear expression of fruit, without seeking excessive power. The estate also produces precise and balanced white wines, adhering to the same philosophy of clarity.
All the cuvées are distinguished by great coherence and a serene style, faithful to a measured interpretation of the Northern Rhône. These are straightforward and accessible wines, crafted without excess and designed for a fluid tasting experience.
