TASTING AT THE DOMAIN
From a granitic soil in the commune of Chavanay, this wine is aptly named: dark color and black fruits remind us of the ink lands. These 30 year old Syrah vines already have the crispness, the spicy texture and the roundness typical of the red wines of the Northern Rhône Valley.
