MATHIAS BARRALON, CYNORHODON SYRAH 2024

Mathias Barralon is based in a remote part of the Ardeche called Desaignes at an altitude of 600m, he planted his own vines of Pinot Noir, Gamay & Chenin Blanc from which he is making wine, but as there has been a succession of difficult vintages since he started to supplement this he has made some wines bought from friends in the south of the region.

100% Syrah from limestone soils in the south of the Ardeche. The grapes were destemmed, but a large portion remain whole giving structure and finesse. This is a beautifully soft and silky expression of the varietal with beautiful black fruit.
