Drinking Window: 2017 - 2022
Giles Flacher runs a deven hectare estate in Charnas where his family have made wine for more than 210 years. This single vineyard Syrah is from a one hectare parcel of 35 year old vines on steep granite terraces, half the wine aged for 14 months in new oak. Ripe but tart red berries, pepper and tight tannins on a rich, silky palate. Lovely juicy stuff.
