Vincent Boyer Gloire de Mon Père Visan 2019

Cotes du Rhone Villages AOP Visan

Few Rhône estates date back 800 years, like Vincent Boyer's. His grandfather farmed it, while his father achieved his dream by buying it in 1989. Pure-fruit Syrah from a tiny 2-hectare, stony vineyard, it sings with herbs, violets and blackberry.

If you want history, Vincent Boyer's family domaine is full of it! Formerly run by Benedictine monks and before that by Knights Templar, it's now in the hands of 3rd-generation Vincent Boyer. He has artefacts galore to prove its antiquity, including ancient coins and a centuries' old wine vat. The Boyer family bought it in 1989 (the grandfather leased it before that) and today Vincent and Stephanie run the fine Visan estate. This flagship red is a tribute to Vincent's dad who died in 2008. From a tiny, ultra-stony vineyard, it's a very pure red, mostly Syrah with a splash of Grenache. Vincent combines modern precision winemaking with tradition and gets the best from both. For now, open early and serve with grilled meats or a herby bake.

"Lush, almost pure Syrah, unusual for the south – a fine, silky red wine tribute to Vincent's father" Jennie Perry
